Book excerpt: Lucy McCourt was a housewife and member of the St Paul Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). On an excursion on the Minnesota River, she first saw a derelict building that had once been the first governor of Minnesota's home. She was able to obtain the property for a dollar from the Catholic church and with volunteer help, renovated and opened it to the public on Flag Day 1910. The MN DAR took up her cause and formed the Sibley House Association to manage the homes. In the spirit of Lucy's volunteerism and vision, the book is written how she might tell it, giving some insight to the history of this special historical site.

Download or read book Minnesota and Dacotah written by Christopher Columbus Andrews and published by University of Michigan Library. This book was released on 1857 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Columbus Andrews (1829-1922), future Civil War general, diplomat, and state official, wrote these twenty-six letters on a trip to the Minnesota and Dakota [Dacotah] territory during the fall of 1856. He traveled by rail as far as Chicago and Dunleith (Jo Daviess County, Illinois), continuing by steamship to St. Paul, and making his way by stagecoach to Crow Wing and St. Cloud before returning east. Each letter describes the trip or discusses the territory's economic and institutional development, governance, and opportunities for pioneers, land speculators, and entrepreneurs. Andrews devotes considerable attention to the Minnesota bar and also takes an interest in such topics as farming, lumbering, railroads, waterways, the potential of Lake Superior and the Red River valley, and efforts to induce the Chippewa [Ojibwe] to adopt a way of life rooted in European cultural traditions. The letters anticipate the establishment of Dakota as a separate territory and review current proposals for demarcating its boundaries. Andrews also comments on slavery and the era's racial attitudes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With simplicity and charm, Grace Lee Nute tells the story of the Minnesota-Ontario border country west of the Boundary Waters--the region of the west-flowing Rainy River and the two lakes that it joins, Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods. In this companion volume to The Voyageur's Highway Nute draws on her broad and thorough knowledge of historical sources to describe the earliest people who passed through the region, the mound builders who followed, and the Indians who lived on or near the river. She brings to life the fascinating succession of traders, prospectors, lumbermen, settlers, and, finally, tourists who called this northern border country home.
