Minnesotaās 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, Minnesotaās 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 Minnesotaās land and people, crystallized moments from the stateās history were captured, and stories preserved. The archival images collected in Historic Photos of Minnesota offer unique insights into the stateās not-so-distant past. Spanning more than 100 years, this book documents everyday lives and significant events in Minnesotaās extraordinary history.
