A Reasonable Survey of the North Star State,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Minnesota: A History, Second Edition (Paperback)
This is a concise but complete history of the state from the French fur trappers to recent times. (Though it is starting to get a little outdated, if you look at the index "Ventura, Jesse" and "Ethanol" does not appear). It is billed on the back cover as a brief survey, which is exactly what it is. Unfortunately, that led to a number of topics feeling a bit rushed. Nonetheless, it is a good 300 page read for those wanting to get familiar with Minnesota's history or who want a brush-up.

A Good Reference,
This review is from: Minnesota: A History, Second Edition (Paperback)
Instead of this book, I recommend the very readable A Popular History of Minnesota. I compared both books and felt that "A Popular History of Minnesota" was better.
This book is a great reference with many important dates and details. It is authoritative. However, I felt that some of the stories were not told well. This is an authoritative history but the storytelling could be better. |
