Mill City: A Visual History of the Minneapolis Mill District

St. Anthony Falls, the only falls on the Mississippi River, and the birthplace of Minneapolis, has held a prominent place in the city's history. In this book, edited by Shannon Pennefeather, readers will learn about the history of the Falls through the writings of explorers, early settlers, business leaders, and employees of the mills and other businesses that were established next to the Falls. The book includes numerous historical photographs, and can be used as a resource for Minnesota history classes or for History Day projects. The reading level is high school or beyond, but the images make it a good resource for junior high and up. It won the Minnesota Book Award for History/Biography in 2004.
