Traveled by mammoth-hunters and
motorcyclists alike, the Minnesota River Valley shows the
traces of a unique legacy: where else are you going to find
a political party with ideals based on honest conversation
and gymnastics? Not all of it is as lovely as the natural
scenery it accompanies--Mankato was the site of the largest
mass execution in United States history--but its heritage
demands contemplation. Discover the valley's most
enterprising characters, from Fort Snelling bootleggers like
Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant to the Granite Falls lawyer
behind Prohibition, Andrew Volstead. With a guide like
Johanneck, you might meet some familiar figures in
surprising circumstances as she steals up behind Dr. Mayo at
the grave he was robbing for medical research or catches FBI
director J. Edgar Hoover in a moment of unguarded
correspondence. Buy This Book |
