Description
In this volume, William Lass tells the story of Minnesota, a state that evolved from many cultures, from its beginnings to the present. This history not only provides descriptions of the essential events of Minnesota's past but also offers an interpretation of major trends and characteristics of the state and its distinctiveness within the context of the nation's story.Tags

waltzmn William E. Lass's history of Minnesota is relatively short and modern, and designed for a popular audience. Those seeking something weightier can hardly do better than Theodore Blegen's history, written by perhaps Minnesota's most important historian.
