Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-23 00:00:00 John Locallo For history books related to the state of Minnesota, "North Star State: A Minnesota History Reader" by Anne Alby is not the first book I'd recommend. Across 29 essays, we the reader get an at times biased viewpoint of the history of the state which at times can be uninteresting & honestly geared toward perhaps a college class in history of the state. While the essays themselves are grouped into segments of the state's history, this is not a book I'd recommend to anyone with an interest in the history of the Land of 10,000 Lakes especially if you are not a native like I am and only a visitor. Very disappointing.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-03-18 00:00:00 Paul Barry This book was a good comprehensive overview of the history of Minnesota. The book covers a lot of ground and at times went into too much detail of certain topics making me forget that I was reading a book about Minnesota. However it does a nice job presenting topics that you don't learn in grade school.
