Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Rice and Steele Counties, Minnesota, Vol. 1 It is with a feeling of considerable pride and pleasure that the publishers present this history for the approval of the people of Rice and Steele counties. The undertaking has not been an easy one, and the difficulties have been many, so many indeed that this work would not have been possible without the liberal assistance of the citizens of the counties. The chief contributors have given freely of their time and talent; business men, church officials, fraternity and associ ation officers, manufacturers, professional men and bankers, often at great personal sacrifice, have laid aside their regular duties to write of their communities and special interests; educators have written of the schools; and men and women in all walks of life have willingly given the information at their command regarding themselves, their families, their interests and their localities. To all of these the readers of this work owe a lasting debt of gratitude, and to each and every one the publishers extend their heartfelt thanks. Since this work was first proposed, it has been the plan of the publishers to prepare a narrative which would tell the story of this rich and prosperous vicinity from the time when it first became a geologic reality, through the years when the first explorers pushed their way into the wilderness, down to the present time, when cities and villages dot the landscape, and comfortable homes and fertile farms are seen on nearly every quarter section.

Some Frenchmen, who had been among the Hurons, in vain attempted to dis suade him from the journey. To their entreaties he replied, I must go, if it cost me my life.

Charles H. De Long, marble and granite worker of Owatonna, was born in St. Lawrence county, New York state, October 18, 1862, son of Richard and Harriett De Long, natives of New York and Vermont, respectively. They emigrated west in their early days, locating at Owatonna township in 1865.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society, Vol. 1 It was not, however, a very encouraging prospect for an institution of that kind. The population of St. Paul was only 400 or 500, and there were but three or four towns in the Territory, which was then still occupied by the Indians, and had altogether not over white imbabi tants. These were mostly poor settlers, and in the struggle for subsist ence in a new country, still a wilderness, had scarcely leisure or means to cultivate aesthetics or write or study history. Consequently the development of the Society was very slow during the first few years. In 1858 there were only 441 volumes in the Library, and those of minor value.

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.
