Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Seventh Biennial Report of the Minnesota Historical Society: St. Paul, to the Legislature of Minnesota, Session of 1893 The Minnesota Historical Society offers herewith to the legislature of the State, and to its own members and patrons, this record of its work, and of its management of the trust imposed upon it by its charter, with a feeling of gratitude and pride at the prosperity which has been vouchsafed to it since the beginning of its career. In presenting the splendid record of our twenty-four months´ work, and of its results, notwithstanding the many drawbacks with which we have been hampered and impeded in that work, we congratulate the people of our State, for whose benefit that work has been carried on, that their generous provision for our support has borne such good fruits, in the building up of an institution which, under Providence, has become not only useful to the citizens of the State, but an honor to the commonwealth, whose enlightened and liberal policy of support has so successfully fostered it. Organization And Objects. As this report may fall into the hands of some who are not familiar with the objects of the society, it may be well to explain them at the outset of this recital. The society was organized in 1849, by a few of the pioneers of the Territory, and incorporated by an act of the first territorial legislature, approved October 20, 1849, thus being the first "literary" institution organized in the Territory; and its library, then only a few volumes, was the first ever established in Minnesota. The original charter of the society stated its objects to be: "The collection and preservation of a library, mineralogical and geological specimens, Indian curiosities and other matters and things connected with, and calculated ta illustrate and perpetuate the history and settlement of said Territory."
