Renowned historian Annette Atkins presents a fresh understanding of how a complex and modern Minnesota came into being in Creating Minnesota. Each chapter of this innovative state history focuses on a telling detail, a revealing incident, or a meaningful issue that illuminates a larger event, social trends, or politics during a period in our past.

A three-act play about Minnesota's statehood vividly depicts the competing interests of Natives, traders, and politicians who lived in the same territory but moved in different worlds. Oranges are the focal point of a chapter about railroads and transportation: how did a St. Paul family manage to celebrate their 1898 Christmas with fruit that grew no closer that 1,500 miles from their home? A photo essay brings to life three communities of the 1920s, seen through the lenses of local and itinerant photographers. The much-sought state fish helps to explain the new Minnesota, where pan-fried walleye and walleye quesadillas coexist on the same north woods menu.

In Creating Minnesota Atkins invites readers to experience the texture of people's lives through the decades, offering a fascinating and unparalleled approach to the history of our state.

Annette Atkins is a professor of history at St. John's University in Collegeville and the author of Harvest of Grief: Grasshopper Plagues and Public Assistance in Minnesota, 1873-1878 (MHS Press) and We Grew Up Together: Brothers and Sisters in Nineteenth-Century America.

Stylish purse.
Color: Black, Color: Black
I like the woven texture of this bag. The pin closure also caught my eye with its unique design. It can be worn for casual events and the shoulder straps can be removed to be worn as a clutch for evening. The material is durable and the black color seems bold and stylish. It is roomy inside and can hold my phone, lipgloss and some other items. This bag has a high end look at a great price.

Black clutch purse
Color: Black, Color: Black
I love how this clutch looks! The basket style design is appealing. I like how the closure is made, it's unique. I like the color. This clutch purse is not necessarily roomy, but it's enough space to carry my essentials plus more. Also, this clutch looks like genuine leather, I like that; and it's reasonably priced.
