Jerome
Liebling: The Minnesota Photographs, 1949-1969
by Jerome Liebling, Alan Trachtenberg
Book Description: When photographer Jerome Liebling arrived
in Minnesota from his native New York City in 1949, he was a young man
of twenty-five launching what would be nationally recognized as a distinguished
career in fine art photography.
Here, in 118 photographs, is portrayed Liebling's Minnesota. During
two decades marked by social, political, and cultural change, Liebling
traveled the state and found his largest subject-the depiction and interpretation
of commonplace human experience. The images range from the grain elevators
and skid row of Minneapolis to the slaughterhouses of South St. Paul, and
the poor, working-class streets of St. Paul's West Side; from the Iron
Range and the Red Lake Indian reservation in the north to the farming towns
in the south.
The vision of Minnesota that emerges from these extraordinary photographs
is uniquely that of the artist, yet it leads viewers effortlessly to an
enhanced understanding of the place, the times, and, always, the people.

Lanesboro,
Minnesota: Historic Destination (Images of America)
by Don Ward, Ted St. Mane
In 1942, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis wrote that the Lanesboro area was worthy of Vermont in its sturdy quietude. Throughout this district, secret little valleys branch off from the major valleys of the Root River, and there is room enough and view enough for 11,000 poets. Promoted in the late 1860s to east coast investors as an idyllic retreat, Lanesboro was established as a resort community and soon realized an impressive boom due to its unparalleled waterpower. Progressing not as a tourist area, but rather along other avenues of commerce, the community once hailed as the biggest little town in southeastern Minnesota fell off the fast track of growth before its charm could be diminished by too much progress. Today Lanesbor's beautiful 1870s downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the entire city is a haven for the arts showcase for the natural beauty that Sinclair Lewis touted more than sixty years ago.

City: A Visual History of the Minneapolis Mill District (Minnesota)
by Shannon
M. Pennefeather, Nina
M. Archabal, Kate
Roberts
Book Description
Dramatic first-person narratives and historic photographs bring to
life the history of the Minneapolis riverfront, its industries, and its
people.
St. Anthony Falls--the birthplace of Minneapolis--has a storied past.
This astonishing work of nature drew the awe and admiration of explorers,
its tremendous waterpower provided a basis for economic wealth, and the
industries it powered offered settlers countless opportunities to make
their living. Over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,
Minneapolis evolved from a tourist destination to a sawdust town to the
nation's Mill City, firmly establishing itself as the premier city of the
Northwest.
In MILL CITY, explorers, excursionists, early settlers, entrepreneurs,
and laborers tell the story of St. Anthony Falls in their own words. Their
vivid accounts are paired with historic photographs and artworks that bring
their experiences to life.
St. Anthony Falls is the only significant waterfall along the Mississippi
River. Nineteenth-century visitors were quick to note the waterpower potential
of the cataract, and it wasn't long before sawmills and then flour mills
were located along the shore. Drawing on energy generated by the cataract's
fifteen-foot drop, Minneapolis was a leading manufacturer of lumber from
1848 to 1887 and the nation's leading producer of flour from 1880 to 1930.
This book includes accounts by the earliest European visitors to St.
Anthony Falls, the children who played in the 1880s lumberyards along the
banks of the Mississippi River, and workers in twentieth-century flour
mills. Primary documents describe innovations in waterpower and the milling
process that contributed to the successes of the Mill City. And witnesses
to disasters along its shores--including the 1869 tunnel collapse that
nearly destroyed the falls and the 1878 Washburn A Mill explosion that
killed eighteen workers and leveled the west side milling district--provide
vivid narratives of these events and the unity of purpose with which the
Mill City's residents worked to ensure the survival of its industries.
Through stories and images, the history of Minneapolis is firmly connected
to St. Anthony Falls, where it all began.
