Starting at Big Stone Lake on the eastern edge of South Dakota, the Minnesota River cuts through southern Minnesota, breaks into waterfalls at Granite Falls, and joins the mighty Mississippi at Fort Snelling in St. Paul. Evan Jones provides a detailed history of the river and its legends in The Minnesota.
The river has provided the scenery for many of Minnesota's most fascinating events-the Dakota Conflict (also known as the Sioux Uprising of 1862); the only blunder of Jesse James's career; and the origin of selling goods on credit by Sears, Roebuck and Company-and hosted many famous faces, including Dred Scott, Zebulon Pike, and Henry David Thoreau. Illustrated with line drawings by Harry Heim, The Minnesota

I bought this with the intentions of reading it while vacationing in Ocean City. After the first page I was too enamored with the beauty of the shore, so I finished it after coming back home. I think it was much more enjoyable and understandable reading it after having been there, for now I have an idea of what streets are being referred to. It was very interesting to learn of what streets are original, and what hotels and businesses are still standing. I'm fascinated by this barren strip of land that became almost an overnight sensation and how quickly it grew in a relatively short span of time.
