Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Concise History of the State of Minnesota The Greek philosopher Aristotle, thought that the commencement of a people was "more than half of the whole." In all ages men have looked back with interest to the origin of the particular community in which they lived, and loved to compare the then with the now; the struggles of the past with present attainment. To meet a desire for a concise history of Minnesota the author has prepared the present volume. For some time, the fifth edition of a large, and to some extent documentary History of Minnesota, containing nearly a thousand pages has been exhausted. It was prepared as a work of reference suitable for large libraries, and will always be of some service. The present history, it is thought, may be adapted to the frontiersman´s cabin, the farmers fireside, and to the large number of intelligent youth, natives of Minnesota, who can appreciate the remark of the Roman orator "that to be ignorant of what has happened before you were born, will always keep you a child." For valuable assistance rendered, acknowledgments are due to N. H. Winched, State Geologist of Minnesota: H. D. Harrower: Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Company, New York City; and Gen. H. H. Sibley, the commander of the expedition, which released the white captives among the Sioux. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
