During the first century, its explorers were French, chiefly led to this distant region for the profits of the fur trade. In the first half of the second century, after the British conquest of Canada, the explorers were English-speaking traders and travelers; and in its latter half, expeditions sent by the United States.

The day of adventure had passed. The day-of actual exploration, with a view to settlement and ultimate cultiva tion, was to begin. But-the northwest territory was as yet as little defined, and subject to as many conflicting claims, as we're the western portions of the grants of those great English companies whose American colonies pretended to reach from one ocean to the other.

Download or read book Minnesota written by C. W. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minnesota: Its Resources and Possibilities As knowledge accumulates and opportunity for observation broadens, thoughtful minds are more and more included to look to the physical world for the causes of conditions among men. It is a fact, hard and rugged as it may appear to the sentimental mind, that man is a true child of nature. The warm days of a springtime are enervating. One feels a lethargy stealing over him as the high nerve tension of winter gives place to the greater indolence of the summer months. Resist it as he will, the body cannot respond to ambitious effort. The proverbial shiftlessness of the south and the shriveled and narrowed physiques and intellects of the high north are well attested facts. The laws which direct the course of things extend to the human race and bind man down to the conditions which surround him, except so far as a touch of the divine gives him power to modify himself or to bring under his own control the surroundings under which he passes. Touching this position one becomes convinced on reading the opening pages of Curtius' History of Grreece. With a masterly hand the author traces the peculiar traits of the several tribes of the Grecian nation to the characteristics of soil, climate and surroundings of the several portions of that peninsula. How the warm, sunny valleys and rich bottom lands developed the disposition to submit to the will of heaven: and how the hills W(ire covered with the spirit of brave independence are clearly pointed out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Civil Government of Minnesota, And, the Government of the United States That our schools give so little attention to the his tory and civil_ government of Minnesota surprises no one who has given a moment's thought to the fact that the student who would gain anything like an adequate knowledge of these important subjects must make himself familiar with the contents of several bulky volumes prepared for the general reader or for the student of law. In View of this fact it is evident that the study of the history and civil government of our state cannot receive the attention its importance demands until a suitable text-book is placed in the hands of pupils and teachers. To the preparation of such a work the writer has given much time and thought, and this vol ume, Part I and Part II, is the result.

This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of the Early Life and Development of Minnesota When I told him that I would like a position to teach mathe maties, it struck him more than favorably, as he said that that was his line of work, and that it did not give him any time to run the university and he wanted some one to handle the classes. We went around with his horse and buggy among the members Of the Board, and I found that the general scare which everywhere existed made them hesitate about making any arrangements for the future running of the school, not knowing whether or not it would ever open again. The presi dent, whose name I have forgotten, said that when school would open again, which he hoped would be in the fall, he felt quite certain that I would be offered a position as assistant teacher in mathematics. A majority of the board were really in favor of engaging me, and the other members were not op posed, excepting only their apprehension as to future pros peets of the university in such calamitous times. This came to pass in the fall, when I was on the government surveys in the northern part of Minnesota and could not accept. If this open ing had occurred or had been decided upon before I came to this state, it would without doubt have changed the course of my whole life.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Minnesota, Its History and Administration It has been the purpose of the author to present in a small volume a harmonious picture of the history and government of the commonwealth of Minnesota. There is a pressing and crying need for good teaching in civil government, a subject which has been and is largely neglected in our public schools. To facilitate such teaching carefully prepared books are necessary. This volume is an attempt thoroughly to analyze the functions of a State government, and in addition to open the way to teacher and pupil to the sources of information. At the foot of many pages are numerous references, while at the end of the book is an appendix containing historical material for more extensive work than the text affords. With such aid the teacher can go back of text-book statement into the spirit of our commonwealth's institutions. The effort in Chapters I and II is to place the history of the State before the student; following these chapters are two others on the general machinery of the government. The remainder of the book is devoted to the actual workings of the machinery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Government of Minnesota Classic Reprint written by G. O. Virtue and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Minnesota In preparing this account of the way Minnesota is governed, the author has sought to make the framework and the operations of the government stand out as realities in a living world, but he well knows that a text-book can only imperfectly succeed in such a task. The responsibility of leading youth to an understanding and appreciation of the political organization by which they are surrounded, and above all, the giving of the proper attitude toward public matters, must depend largely upon the kind of atmosphere furnished by the home and by the school. The text-book in civil government is only an aid to the study of the subject. The one here presented presupposes some observation of governmental arrangements, such at least as are made in most schools of the grammar grade, in "general lessons," or in connection with civic leagues or young citizens' clubs, such as are described in the "Course of Study" recently published by the Department of Public Instruction. The provisions of the Constitution and the statutes have been made the starting-point in discussing the activities of the government.
