Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book documents the earliest history of Sauk Centre and the surrounding area. It reveals for the first time every phase of early Minnesotan life in this pioneer town - by using previously undiscovered primary source materials. It begins from the foremost settler days, where only the fittest survived and death was common place; this is when the first European pioneers came face-to-face with alien Native American cultures - with profound and sometimes devastating consequences. These are real life stories of real life people that have previously been lost to the knowledge of man - this is the forgotten history of a pioneer town in the very center of Minnesota: Sauk Centre."--Back cover.

Download or read book A Book of Fields written by Stephen Billias and published by Odeon Press. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three kids rob a diner in Greenfield where everyone knows them. A boy goes to the Big E in West Springfield and runs away with the circus. An animal control officer has to shoot a moose in Sheffield. A ghost still roams the flooded and sunken town of Enfield. A prep school teacher in Old Deerfield reenacts the raid of 1704 with his students, to disastrous results. These deceptively simple stories share two commonalities--first, each one ends in the name of a town that ends in "field"--Ashfield, Northfield, Plainfield, and so forth. Second, most of the stories contain a crime, or something like one, but this is not a crime novel. It's an exploration of this magical landscape in the Pioneer Valley (or slightly beyond), populated not by magicians or wizards but by very real human beings; it's a portrait of a changing world and the men and women who inhabit it: hardy, independent, passionate, hardheaded, sometimes a little crazy.

Download or read book Tahoe Tales of Bygone Days and Memorable Pioneers written by Don Lane and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-11-24 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manuscript is a collection of short stories that were originally prepared as part of a radio program that began in the early 1980's as a summer informational and educational program for Tahoe area residents and tourists. Between 1982 and 1985 the author presented more than one hundred radio tales about Tahoe’s history and the environment over Tahoe radio station KTHO AM-590. Lane returned to the radio airways in 1995, this time with radio station KOWL AM-1490, and has since broadcast more than two thousand tales (“Don Lane’s Tales of Tahoe”). The manuscript is a distinctive mixture of stories about the events, large and small, that shaped and changed the region, and simple stories about the people that once lived in our region during the past 150-years. Stories about pioneer men and women, gold-seekers and adventurers. Tales about the unique characters; the famous like the Donner’s, Mark Twain, John Sutter and James Marshall, and John Fremont, along with the powerful and the forgotten. The manuscript weaves serious history with light-hearted tales with a minimum of editorializing, as the emphasis has been on maintaining historical integrity and authenticity. The stories, gathered from old journals, archives and historical records are both entertaining, and educational. And hopefully too, this manuscript will contribute to an increased awareness of our regional history and a greater appreciation for those people that have been lost inside the pages of history.
