Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Description of Faribault Vicinity: With Its Charming Combination of Hill and Dale, Lake and River, Forest and Prairie, Showing Views of Its Educational Institutions, Churches, Business Establishments and Scenery The traveler on the Iowa Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, at a point directly south of St. Paul, and distant fifty-six miles from that city, comes upon one of the most charming little cities to be found anywhere in the Northwest. Both nature and art have done more for its adornment than for any other inland city or town in Minnesota. Although so well and widely known by reason of its numerous educational institutions, so little has been written or published about its natural advantages and the beauty of its surroundings, that every stranger who visits it is astonished at the size and the substantial character of the place, the great progress that has been made in the development of the public and private institutions, and the many evidences of the thrift and prosperity of its inhabitants. Prior to its settlement by white people, the site of the future town and the charming lakes in the immediate vicinity were long the haunts and hunting and fishing grounds of the Indians. Their innate love of the beautiful, and the great abundance of fish and wild fowl that swarmed in and about these waters, then, as now, made this a favorite rendezvous. They were of the tribe of Sioux or Dakota, or, as they were known among the Indians from their forest habitations, the Wapekuti or Leaf Shooters. Their agent, Alexander Faribault, who had intermarried with them, built and occupied the first frame house before the town was established. This house is still in good repair. When the town was laid out it was named for this first inhabitant, and it has now grown to a city of about 7,000 people.
