Minnesota Book of Days; An Almance of State History

Minnesota Book of Days: An Almanac of State HistoryI've been meaning to write about this book for a while--and finally today's the day!
  • When was F. Scott Fitzgerald born?
  • When did Will Steger finish the Trans-Antarctic Expedition?
  • When was Minnesota officially nicknamed "The Gopher State"?
  • When did the Split Rock Lighthouse officially open?
These and many more events are part of Minnesota history.  This guide explores famous and not-so-famous aspects of our history in day-by-day entries.  Indexes for subject and year add to its usefulness as a research tool, and it should be in most secondary school libraries.
