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.

Download or read book Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Minnesota Historical Society and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, Vol. 1 The first volume of the Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, issued in parts from 1850 to 1856, has been out of print for several years. Other volumes, or parts, have been issued meantime, and the demand for the first volume to complete sets, is constantly increasing. The Society has therefore concluded, by permission of the Legislature, to reprint it, and in so doing, to make such changes and improvements as seemed necessary, by correcting typographical and other errors. The volume of which this is a reprint, was composed of five parts, or pamphlets, issued in various years. The titles are as follows: 1. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society, Saint Paul: Printed by James M. Goodhue, 1850. 80; pp. [Two editions printed.] 2. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society, for the year A. D., 1850-1. Comprising an Address of the President; the annual report of the Secretary; two papers by S. R. Riggs, one on the "Destiny of the Indian Tribes," the other on the "Dakota Language;" and lastly, "A Memoir of the History and Physical Geography of Minnesota," &c., &c. St. Paul; D. A. Robertson. Printer, 1851. 80; pp. 184. 3. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society; 1852; containing the annual address by J. H. Simpson, First Lieut. Corps U. S. Topographical Engineers; and other papers. Published by order of the Executive Council, St. Paul. Owens & Moore, Printers, Minnesotian Office. 80; pp., 64. 4. Annals of the Minnesota Historical Society, for 1853. Number IV. Printed by order of the Executive Council. St. Paul: Owens & Moore, Printers, 1853. 80; pp., 72. 5. Materials for the Future History of Minnesota; being a report of the Minnesota Historical Society, to the Legislative Assembly, in accordance with a Joint Resolution. Fifteen hundred copies ordered to be printed for the use of the Legislature. St. Paul: Joseph R. Brown, Territorial Printer, Pioneer and Democrat Office, 1856. Royal 80; pp. 142. Excepting the last named part, only a small edition of each was printed, and imperfectly distributed. Most of them were printed at the expense of the Society, whose membership at that time was small, and the fees difficult to collect; and were executed by different publishers, under varying circumstances. Hence their style, size, &c., is not uniform, and they are not consecutively paged. A fact that detracts from the value and convenience of the volume as a whole, while the poor typography and paper, though the best that could then be procured in the Territory, have always created an unfavorable impression against the work, when compared with the neat publications of other institutions.
