The heavily wooded area of western Hennepin County, known as the "Big Woods" to early explorers, slowly transformed into three trade centers with the first permanent settlers staking their claims to land in 1854. The initial pioneers emigrated from such faraway places as Germany, Ireland, England, and France in search of a better life, and the fact that many of their ancestors still reside in the area demonstrates they found just that. Rogers, Hassan Township, and Fletcher Remembered is a photographic tour of three early trade centers that formed a community. The pictures, newspaper clippings, and stories provided by local residents and businesses capture the rich history of the area and illustrate how emphasis on church, education, commerce, and entertainment created the endless opportunities enjoyed today.

Rogers, Hassan Township, and Fletcher Remembered, Minnesota (Images of America Series)
Simplistic and disjointed. Was really disappointed with how the book handled the overtly racist imagery on the facade of a north Seattle restaurant' it was pawned off as a case of the owner considering it a cute marketing gimmick to attract children. This sort of thing shouldn't be treated as a cutesy anecdote without censure. Why even tell this bit at all unless you're going to call out his ignorance? Is it part of the classically over-used "oh, he meant no harm" strategy? Because he did cause harm. Actively.
I know local history tomes aren't always held to the highest standards, but the failure to acknowledge the gross grimness of racist caricature and trying to spin it lighthearted? I found it pretty offensive and it hampered my enjoyment of the rest of the book.
