Download or read book South St Paul written by Lois A. Glewwe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incorporated in 1887, South St. Paul grew rapidly as the blue-collar counterpart to the bright lights and sophistication of its cosmopolitan neighbors Minneapolis and St. Paul. Its prosperous stockyards and slaughterhouses ranked the city among America's largest meatpacking centers. The proud city fell on hard economic times in the second half of the twentieth century. Broad swaths of empty buildings were razed as an enticement to promised redevelopment programs that never happened. In 1990, South St. Paul began to chart out its own successful path to renewal with a pristine riverfront park, a trail system and a business park where the stockyards once stood. Author and historian Lois A. Glewwe brings the story of the city's revival to life in this history of a remarkable community.
Download or read book Celebrating Ethnicity and Nation written by Jürgen Heideking and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arising out of the context of the re-configuration of Europe, new perspectives are applied by the authors of this volume to the process of nation-building in the United States. By focusing on a variety of public celebrations and festivities from the Revolution to the early twentieth century, the formative period of American national identity, the authors reveal the complex interrelationships between collective identities on the local, regional, and national level which, over time, shaped the peculiar character of American nationalism. This volume combines vivid descriptions of various public celebrations with a sophisticated methodological and theoretical approach.
Download or read book Cap Wigington written by David Vassar Taylor and published by Minnesota Historical Society Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clarence W (Cap) Wigington was a man of firsts -- the first registered African American architect in Minnesota and the first African American municipal architect in the nation. The public buildings that he designed for the city of St Paul are a continuing legacy, helping to define the city's character. And his achievements, both as an architect and as a leader in the state's African American community, are all the more significant given the limitations of the times in which he lived. Wigington's most ephemeral work may have been his most creative. From 1937 to 1947, he designed six ice palaces and a number of secondary structures for St Paul's famous Winter Carnival. These stunningly fanciful designs are Wigington's most imaginative and exuberant. Alternating chapters by Taylor and Larson examine the man, his times, his leadership in the African American community, and his architectural work. Richly illustrated with photos of Wigington's buildings and his drawings, the book also contains a list of works attributed to Wigington. His life story shows the struggles and the achievements of a talented individual facing and conquering long odds.
