Including the Explorers and Pioneers of Minnesota, by Rev. Edward D. Neill, and History of the Sioux Massacre, by Charles S. Bryant
"We live not alone in the present, but also in the past and future…the past is not simply a stepping-stone to the future, but a part of our very selves…The recounting of events which have transpired in our own neighborhood is the most interesting of all history. There is a fascination in the study of the intermingled facts and fiction of the past, which is heightened by a familiarity with the localities described…Our purpose is to present these pictures in their natural succession, arousing the enthusiasm of the reader, if possible, and giving him a more vigorous enjoyment of the present by linking it with the past. The compass of the work is wide, extending over a long period of time, embracing the accounts of early explorers, also reaching back among the legends of the past, and, approaching the events of the day, almost undesignedly casting a prophetic glance forward at what must be the future after such a beginning." Topics within this volume include Explorers and Pioneers of Minnesota; an Outline History of the State of Minnesota; an Early History of the Minnesota Valley; the Geology of the Minnesota Valley; the Sioux Massacre of 1862; and histories of the individual counties within the valley.
