Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minnesota and Its Resources: To Which Are Appended Camp-Fire Sketches, or Notes of a Trip From St. Paul to Pembina and Selkirk Settlement on the Red River of the North This work is offered as a brief general view of Minnesota, as it existed prior to its organization as a territorial government in 1849, and "as it is" at the present time. As a guide to the immigrant, and the tourist in search of general information and pleasure, it is believed to contain much valuable and interesting knowledge. The facts and statements contained in this work will be found particularly correct, and it is thought will meet the desire of the community throughout the states - at least that part of it intending to remove hither, who wish a reliable work for reference and information concerning the many interesting topics pertaining to this territory. The style, though somewhat glowing, is not in the least overdrawn. Those familiar with the country will admit, on a perusal, that the half has not been told. To present a plain and truthful picture has been my only aim; and if, in any instance, I have erred, an absorbing interest in the cause of Minnesota must offer sufficient atonement for such error. The matter contained in the "Camp-Fire Sketches," and several other chapters, is entirely original. I have also made valuable selections from the writings of David Dale Owen, United States geologist; Rev. E. D. Neill, of St. Paul; ex- Governor Ramsey, and several others of considerable repute.
