Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Minnesota, Vol. 1 of 4 During his presidency at the university Dr. Folwell not only laid broad and firm foundations for that institution but also took the lead in promoting the development of high schools and in building up a unified system of public educa tion in the state. The establishment of the Minnesota Geological and Natural History Survey in 1872 was also a result of his foresight and initiative. After his resignation from the presidency of the university in 1884. Dr. Folwell rendered notable services to that institution as professor of political science and as librarian until his retirement in 1907.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Minnesota, Vol. 4 of 4 The introduction to the first volume of this work an nounced that a general bibliography would be included in the final volume. On further consideration, however, in view of the inclusion of complete bibliographical information with the first reference in each volume to each work cited, it seemed that the principal object of such a bibliography would be achieved by listing the works in the consolidated index, printed in this volume, with references to the first citations. Undoubtedly a systematic bibliography of Minnesota his tory would be very useful, but there is no special reason why it should be included in this work. All manuscripts and newspapers cited, unless otherwise indicated, will be found in the collections of the Minnesota Historical Society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Vol. 1 The early history of every city has a peculiar interest, not only to its founders, but hardly less to those who come later. Even incidents. Considered at the time of their occurence unimportant, later assume a value unsuspected to those connected with them. This fact is true in the life of individuals, and it is more emphasized in the life of a city. Cities which have failed to preserve authentic records of their early beginnings, have never ceased to regret it, and this feeling becomes intensified with each passing year.

Download or read book The Story of Minnesota Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Hubert Marshall Skinner and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Minnesota, Vol. 1 The Story of Minnesota is called, on its shield, "The Star of the North," though the words, as written, appear in French, thus: "L 'Etoile du Nord." Since every State is represented by a separate star in our nation's flag, it is natural to speak of States, sometimes, as "stars;" and of all the States, Minnesota projects farthest to the north. In fact, it includes part of a peninsula away up in the Ike of the Woods, which singular fact calls for an explanation. When our nation made peace with Great Britain at the close of the Revolutionary War, it was agreed that the Mississippi should be our western boundary all the way up to our northern boundary. But it was found, later, that the Mississippi did not extend so far north. Hence the western boundary was pieced out by an imaginary line running northward from the source of the river into the lake mentioned, cutting off for us an odd piece of land which we cannot reach except by boat, unless we pass through some of the Canadian land. It was proper that the motto on Minnesota's shield should be written in French, for that was practically the only European language used in this region in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the words recall to mind the arduous labors and great services of brave French explorers, missionaries. and traders in the days of the long ago.

We feel justified in saying that the workmanship and art bestowed on these portraits, is of superior excellence, both in the engraving and the perfection of the resemblance to the subjects portrayed, while the biographical sketches are authentic. It has been the aim of the pub lishers throughout, to include in the list only those who have, by their ability, industry and courage, contributed to the building of the State to its present eminence.

This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Swedish-Americans of Minnesota, Vol. 1 As these were the dominant traits of the pioneer immigrants, and are still the characteristics of the Swedish - Americans of today, this work is largely devoted to the history of the large part which they have played in the growth of agriculture, business and industries of Minnesota, and the splendid work of consecrating so large a share of their lives to the founding and promotion of educational and religious institutions. The remark has been well made that the Swedish - Americans of today more closely abide by the conscientious and religious spirit of the Puritans of New England than any other element of American nationality. This statement is fully borne out by this work; and an addition may be made to the effect that in the swedish-americans, both of Minnesota and the Union, may be found one of the strong safeguards against the establish ment of frivolity and irreligion as dominant traits of the national character.
