The photographs focus upon the buildings constructed by and lived in by these people.

Download or read book Draining the Great Oasis written by Anthony J. Amato and published by Crossing Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 2001 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Draining the Great Oasis is a collection of essays on the environmental history of Murray County, MN. Located on the tall grass prairie of southwestern Minnesota, Murray County is a land of contrasts. It is composed of floodplains, river valleys, wetlands, and uplands formed by glaciation. With wet and dry seasons and cycles, climatic extremes characterize it. In the last 150 years this land has been bent and shaped to serve agriculture and an industrial nation. In 20 unique essays, 15 authors from different disciplines and perspectives examine this transformation. They probe the multifaceted relationship between human beings and their environment, examining topics ranging from weed control and horse ecology to wetlands and recreational landscapes. Draining the Great Oasis offers new themes and approaches that will stimulate both environmental and local history.

Download or read book Building Community Keeping the Faith written by Fred W. Peterson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Catholic immigrants who founded St. John the Baptist parish on the central Minnesota prairie effected a remarkable transfer of tradition to their new environment. In this study, Fred W. Peterson documents, analyzes, and interprets the community, these settlers built between 1858 and 1915. He reveals how their folk culture, aesthetic values, and religious beliefs were directly embodied in the houses, dairy farms, and churches they planned and constructed. Peterson's main focus is on some 30 distinctive farmhouses built with locally produced brick in and around Meire Grove, the village at the center of the parish. Employing historical and contemporary photographs and his own precise architectural renderings, he shows how settlers modeled the layouts of their new homes after ones they had known in Germany -- and adapted them to the demands of prairie life. Equally important, Peterson explores how the secular and the sacred were intertwined in St. John the Baptist parish, how piety not only suffused parishioners' lives but also affected every aspect of their built environment. Through its treatment of a single agricultural community, the book offers a perspective on similar ethnic enclaves in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. Building Community Keeping the Faith is vital reading for students of architecture, religion, immigration, and ethnicity -- indeed for anyone interested in the complex influence European culture exerted on the development of America.
