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.

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.

Mill 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.
