Bücher der Reihe Publications of the Minnesota

Reprint of the long out-of-print 1943 book, the definitive work on Radisson and Des Groseilliers, with an additional, end-sheet map.

The many difficulties and occasional rewards of early travel and transportation in Minnesota are highlighted in this book, along with the state's relations with what became western Canada and insights into the development of business in Minnesota. The meeting of Indian and European cultures is vividly manifested by the mixed-blood Metis who became the mainstay of the Red River trade.

A unique cookbook that combines lively social history with mouth-watering recipes from the good old days. Gathering her data from old cookbooks, household guides, letters, diaries, and newspapers, the author pieces together a fascinating account of how the pioneer homemaker played a vital role during Minnesota's frontier years. More than 275 recipes included.
