Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis: Including the Explorers Ans Pioneers of Minnesota If, then, the past is not simply a stepping-stone to the future, but a part of our very selves, we can not afford to ignore it. Or separate it from ourselves, as a member might be lopped off from our bodies for though the body thus maimed might perform many and perhaps most of its functions, still it could never again be called complete. We, therefore, present this volume to our patrons in Hennepin county, not as something extrinsic, to which we would attract their notice and secure their favor, but as a part of themselves, and an important part, which it is the province of the historian to re-invigorate and restore to its rightful owner. Moveover, we can not but hope that we shall thus confer much pleasure. The recounting of events which have transpired in our own neighborhood is the most interesting of all history. There is a fascination in the study of the intermingled fact and fiction of the past which is heightened by a familiarity with the localities described. The writer remembers the glow of enthusiasm with which he once stood at the entrance of the old fort at Ticonderoga, and repeated the words of Ethan Allen In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress, etc. The river which flows through our native village acquires a new interest when, in imagination, we see the Indian canoe on its surface and the skin - covered tepee on its banks, as in days of yore. Log cabins, straw roofs, and the rude betterments of the hardy pioneer, are the next changes on the scene, followed soon by mushroom towns, some of which perish as quickly as they spring up, while others astonish us by their rapid growth; cities are built, and moss and ivy, the evidences of age, soon accumulate. The log cabin and all the incipient steps of first settlement are things of the past The place which knew them shall know them no more forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Half Century of Minneapolis The general plan of the book has been that of grouping events of common interest rather than the chronological listing of happenings without regard to their relations and significance. With this design in mind the first seven chapters and the last are devoted to sketching several not definitely limited periods in the city's history, while Chapters VIII to XXVIII, inclusive, take up separate phases of the life and activities of the city, each account being in a measure complete in itself. In this method of treating the history of Minneapolis, much in the way of anecdote and reminiscence of the pioneers - which would find a place in a more extended work - has been, of necessity, omitted. Many side lights, however, are thrown upon the story of the city in the biographical sketches of men who have had a part in its building. These brief sketches will give an insight into the character of the people of Minneapolis which, possibly, could be oh tained in no other way, and will give to outsiders an explanation of many things which may seem to them incredible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compendium of History and Biography of Minneapolis and Hennepin County, Minnesota The special thanks of the publishers are due also and are warmly tendered to Mr. C. M. Loring for his splendid and sparkling chapter entitled Looking Through a Vista of Fifty Years; to Mr. Thomas B. Walker for his highly entertaining and valuable Early History of the Lumber Industry; to Mr. George H. Christian for his graphic and interesting account of the founding of the milling industry and fast-fading stories of its early days; to Mr. George H. Warren for showing in an impressive way the relation ship of the woodsmen to the lumber industry, the vital necessity for their service and its inestimable value; to Major R. I. Holcombe for his masterful work in preparing the-general history of the city which en riches the volume, and to many other persons whose aid is highly appreciated but who are too numerous to be mentioned specifically by name. Without the valuable and judicious aid of all these persons, those who are named and those who are not, it would have been impossible to compile a history of the complete ness and high character this one is believed to have. Finally, to the residents of Minneapolis and Henne pin County, to whose patronage the book is indebted for its publication, and w ose life stories constitute a large part of its contents, t e publishers freely tender their grateful thanks, with the hope that the volume will be an ample and satisfactory recompense. It is submitted to the judgment of the public with no other voice to proclaim its worth than that of its own in herent merits, whatever they may be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Minnesota and Its People: And Early History of Minneapolis On returning from Mexico to my Wisconsin home in 1848, with impaired health, I thought of returning to a claim I made in Texas in 184 G.During a military march in the fall of 1846 from Matamoras to a point on the plains some forty miles east of that city into Texas, the command lost its bearings on the prairie, through the carelessness of the guide, and in seeking water and a place to camp, after a march of two days, on the second night a light was seen in the distance which evidently indicated the presence of either a settlement of whites or a Comanche camp. The latter would not be a desirable event, but after so long a march over an unbroken wilderness it was decided best to approach the signs of habitation. About midnight the place was reached and it was found that three men had taken claims on the banks of a small stream which drained that part of Texas, where both mesquite trees and grass were abundant. The owners of these claims were from New Orleans where, as clerks, they had saved considerable money. They had concluded to unite their earnings and become planters in southwestern Texas. They purchased a few negroes and mules, supplied themselves with provisions and agricultural implements, and wandered through the wilds of Texas in search of land suitable for planting, and located in what they thought the most desirable place. Upon a hasty examination of the neighborhood the next morning, I decided to take an adjoining claim, and employed them to make improvements on it for me, with a full intention of making it a permanent home after the war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Westminster Presbyterian Church of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of the Celebration of Its Fiftieth Anniversary: 1857-August-1907 Mistakes may, and probably will be found in his work; but the historian can truly say that he has endeavored to make the story complete and accurate, and to do full justice to all, who have contributed to make our Church what it is. As it has not been possible for the other members of the committee to review and revise the work before sending it to press, the historian assumes the full responsibility therefor, except for such portions as are accredited to others, who.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of the University of Minnesota The disadvantage of proximity, which does not allow of a proper weighing of events in the light of subsequent years, is more than offset by the availability of material.

Download or read book Minneapolis and St Paul in Vintage Postcards written by Christopher S. Clay and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half of the 20th century, communication by postcard was an inexpensive and popular means of exchanging travel stories, news, and gossip across the United States. The postcard, for just a few cents, connected friends and loved-ones separated by hundreds of miles. Today, we treasure these little correspondences of yesteryear as unique glimpses into the long-lost places of a long-gone era. Minneapolis and St. Paul in Vintage Postcards captures this historic era of Minnesota's "twin cities" through 200 classic postcard images. Inside will be found views of St. Paul's Hotel Ryan, providing a rare glimpse into a once-famous landmark that no longer stands. A picture of a solitary 1911 automobile traveling along Minneapolis' popular Lake Calhoun Drive will remind us of how one may have gone to-and-fro at the start of the last century. And the scene of a well-dressed Minnesota family at Minnehaha Falls shows us that this site was as popular among tourists in 1908, when the image was taken, as it is today.

And on March 9, 1867, the Legislature voted its first cash appropriation for higher education to repair and furnish the University building, which since the 50's had stood unoccupied and crumbling. In October of that year Principal W. W. Washburn and two assistants began teaching. These assistants were Gabriel Campbell and Ira Moore. A goodly number of students, chie y from the families in the neighborhood of the University, enrolled themselves in the new school. The work of this preparatory department was carried on for two years with such eminent success and satisfaction that it was felt by the Regents that the time had come to enlarge the field of instruction and correspondingly to increase the teaching force.
