Ward,
If you like the tree, by all means rescue it.
Stake it upright with heavy duty fence posts and cable.  Routine pruning in 
the winter is fine.  One thing to be aware of, is that once you stake them 
after they have blown over, you have to keep them staked forever.  You can 
cut 
back to one stake support directly windward of the tree, but I recommend you 
always keep them staked.
The root system will never regain its full strength and a good storm will 
blow a recovered tree right over again.  I have staked and saved trees and 
learned from experience.  Good luck!
