Bordering its trading partner, Canada, on the north, Minnesota is the 12th-largest state in the USA. It’s no wonder that Minnesota, nicknamed Land of 10,000 Lakes, leads the nation in per capita sales of fishing licenses, with 15,000 streams and over 5,400 fishable lakes. Uncle John is rightly enamored of a state with the world’s only two-story outhouse, and while all states have official flowers and birds, Minnesota has a state beverage (milk) and muffin (blueberry). What other state has spawned such disparate personalities as J. Paul Getty, Bob Dylan, and Jesse Ventura? Its people are just one interesting facet of a state where travelers can find such fascinating curiosities as the SPAM Museum or the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices. Over 300 pages of interesting facts and amusing trivia provide armchair travelers with a glimpse into Minnesota’s people, places, and stunning natural wonders.

Minnesota Trivia and interesting facts and history,
By dd (Maple Grove MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges into Minnesota (Paperback)
Worth every penny!
I really enjoyed reading about important events and people in Minnesota history. Very well written and not boring facts one after another. Lots of variety with even a crossword puzzle. I especially enjoyed the history of the large department store Daytons.

This review is from: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges into Minnesota (Paperback)
I have been a friend of Uncle John for years and now I am having all my friends meet him. Uncle John has been publishing his Bathroom Readers for 20 years. When you know you are going to be waiting for 15 minutes or hours take Uncle John along and you will be entertained even if you are not an avid
reader. You can open your reader to any page and enjoy. I just gave a family in Omaha a copy of the Minnesota Reader,they are all from Minnesota and still have family there so they are enjoying their reader. Looking for a Christmas gift or any occasion, an Uncle John Reader is sure to please and entertain. Be sure you buy THE original Uncle John,he has some imitators out there now.
