Infos

Minnesotas past is defined by its remarkable natural resources, and shaped by its native peoples and early settlers. From the fur trade and the establishment of Fort Snelling, to harnessing the power of the Mississippi River as a means to fuel emergent logging and milling industries, Minnesotas history is that of a land like no other.Pioneering Minnesotans embraced everything that the sprawling prairies, rich farmlands, and more than 10,000 lakes offered. Boomtowns and small towns sprang up and were connected to the thriving metropolises of Minneapolis and St. Paul through a great labyrinth of railways.From the time photographers first started pointing their cameras in the direction of Minnesotas land and people, crystallized moments from the states history were captured, and stories preserved.The archival images collected inHistoric Photos of Minnesotaoffer unique insights into the states not-so-distant past. Spanning more than 100 years, this book documents everyday lives and significant events in Minnesotas extraordinary history.
