Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Parks and Public Grounds of St. Paul The classification of our park areas, with reference to the original purpose back of their institution as such areas, falls readily into two classes, the old and the new. The park areas belonging to the old system were really not of a system at all. They were merely a haphazard lot of open spaces, which had come to the possession of the city in all sorts of ways, and with no common nor ordered purpose on the part of the donors, when they were donated, nor of the authorities of the city in the cases when the areas were acquired by pur chase or condemnation. These areas had no relation to each other, nor to any general plan. It is not intended by any means to detract either from the merit of the various donors of those old park plots, or from their utility and even beauty. Many of them, as will be noted later, lend dignity to their surroundings, are quite fit and ade quate as park spaces in their respective localities, and are justly considered as monuments to the men whose generosity pre served them to public use. The point here made simply is that the park areas of St. Paul, as a unified system, were never dreamed of, certainly never effectively, until the dreams of Joseph A. Wheelock, and of those who worked with him and after him, came true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The WPA Guide to Minnesota written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes is well represented in this WPA Guide to Minnesota. From the Grand Portage State Park to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, the reader is taken on a journey through this Midwestern state as it was in the early 20th century. In total, it profiles 47 cities and towns but emphasizes outdoor recreation, which is significant in the North Star State.

The outline covers the entire history of the state from the time of the Indians, before the French and British explorations, to the present. The reading references include accounts written from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries.

Materials of particular interest or importance to the topic under consideration are so designated, and there are liberal annotations to help the reader in his choice of readings. References which are particularly appropriate for young readers are also specially designated. A number of maps are provided for additional guidance.
