Book Synopsis Creating Minnesota by : Annette Atkins
Download or read book Creating Minnesota written by Annette Atkins and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a Spur Award, presented by the Western Writers of America (WWA), for the Best Western Nonfiction Historical Book. Renowned historian Annette Atkins presents a fresh understanding of how a complex and modern Minnesota came into being in Creating Minnesota. Each chapter of this innovative state history focuses on a telling detail, a revealing incident, or a meaningful issue that illuminates a larger event, social trends, or politics during a period in our past. A three-act play about Minnesota's statehood vividly depicts the competing interests of Natives, traders, and politicians who lived in the same territory but moved in different worlds. Oranges are the focal point of a chapter about railroads and transportation: how did a St. Paul family manage to celebrate their 1898 Christmas with fruit that grew no closer than 1,500 miles from their home? A photo essay brings to life three communities of the 1920s, seen through the lenses of local and itinerant photographers. The much-sought state fish helps to explain the new Minnesota, where pan-fried walleye and walleye quesadillas coexist on the same north woods menu. In Creating Minnesota Atkins invites readers to experience the texture of people's lives through the decades, offering a fascinating and unparalleled approach to the history of our state.

Book Synopsis Floral Home, Or, First Years of Minnesota by : Harriet E. Bishop
Download or read book Floral Home, Or, First Years of Minnesota written by Harriet E. Bishop and published by University of Michigan Library. This book was released on 1857 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet E. Bishop (1817-1883) emigrated to Minnesota from New England in 1847. She was recruited by Catherine Beecher's Board of National Popular Education to establish a school in St. Paul, Minnesota and to serve as its first formal teacher, reaching students of French, English, Swiss, Sioux, Chippewa, and African-American backgrounds. Her book, Floral Home, is divided into three components: "Early Sketches," "Later Settlements," and "Further Developments." "Early Sketches" provides accounts of the earliest known white explorers and settlers to the region and discusses the source of the Mississippi River as well as the establishment of Fort Snelling. "Later Settlements" encompasses the period from about 1835-1850 and includes her own arrival. "Further Developments" covers the period after 1850 that saw an explosion of growth in Minnesota. Bishop describes the region's culture, its varied population, its geography and land-use, its natural resources, and the development of its religious, educational, and governmental institutions. There are comments upon the progress of St. Paul, St. Anthony's Falls, St. Croix Falls, Stillwater, and Minneapolis and Minnesota's formation into a territory. Bishop also relates many encounters with the Chippewa and the Sioux [Dakotas] and offers insights about how vastly different cultures co-existed on the frontier. She includes several poems about topics of local significance, some without attribution.

Book Synopsis Stories of Minnesota (Classic Reprint) by : Geo F. Forster
Download or read book Stories of Minnesota (Classic Reprint) written by Geo F. Forster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Minnesota The history of the struggle of the pioneer and yeoman of early Minnesota, though it is an inland state, carved out of the Louisiana and Northwest Territories, reads like the story of many a state won along the coast. The battles of the settlers with soil and savage, the energy and thrift later displayed by her citizens, or their patriotism when war called to action - these things are not new, nor indeed remarkable, when their frequency is counted. But a knowledge of the struggles and their incident deeds of courage, necessary to planting a new world, and especially a knowledge of what was necessary to a conquest of America, is of value to youth. And surely it is more fitting that the western boys and girls should finish their school-days with a knowledge of the historical facts in the rise of their own states to eminence, rather than that they be acquainted only with the story of the Pilgrims of Massachusetts or the Cavaliers of Virginia.
