On the occasion of Minnesota's 150th anniversary of statehood, over
a hundred historians and other writers assembled to discuss the
subjects they had been studying, thinking, and writing about. This
book presents the best of that work, including nineteen essays on
topics as varied as baseball at Native American boarding schools,
nineteenth-century predictions for Minnesota's future, Native
American tourist goods, the Kensington rune stone, and a memoir of
growing up in Marshall. Bringing together some of the most recent
and best thinking about Minnesotas past and its people, this book
demonstrates the history of this place, in all its rich complexity,
before and after statehood. Contributors include Melodie Andrews,
Annette Atkins, Marge Barrett, Matt Callahan, Emily Ganzel, Linda
LeGarde Grover, Louis Jenkins, David J. Laliberte, James Madison,
J. Thomas Murphy, Nora Murphy, Traci M. Nathans-Kelly, Paula
Nelson, Patrick Nunnally, Linda Schloff, Gregory Schroeder, Hamp
Smith, Barbara W. Sommer, Tangi Villerbu, Howard J. Vogel, Steven
Werle, Bill Wittenbreer, and Michael Zalar.
