Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
In the good old Minnesota town of Fergus Falls, murder is about as common as shorts-wearing tourists in January. But even in quiet Nordic towns, strange things can happen in the dead of winter. Eager to retire, insurance company owner "Pinky" Hofstead had grand plans to announce the appointment of his new president at an all-employee winter weekend retreat. But after a night of snowmobiling in sub-zero weather, Hofstead is found the next day—as cold and stiff as a piece of dried lutefisk. Puzzled by how Hofstead's body could be lying beneath a concrete loon with his snowmobile abandoned fifty feet away, Otter County Sheriff Palmer Knutson and his upstart rookie detective suspect that this is more than just an accident. With possible motives of greed, ambition, and jealousy, could any of the four employees or their spouses be cold-blooded enough to ice the boss? Uffda! There's a murderous chill in the air!

Book Description
Abandonings: Photographs of Otter Tail County, Minnesota, chronicles a vanishing manifestation of the American dream. In this extraordinarily evocative pictorial essay, photographer Maxwell MacKenzie revisits the place of his birth, an agricultural community on the edge of the Great Plains. Now standing in ruins are the barns, houses, and schools erected by the Swedish and Norwegian immigrants who settled the region in the second half of the 19th century and began to desert during the Depression years. With a photographer's eye, an architect's insight, and a native son's passion, MacKenzie has recorded these eloquent "abandonings" in breathtaking full-color panoramas. The images speak to anyone who appreciates the simple beauty of America's rural landscape.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
As Minnesota's tourism expanded beyond the hotels along the Mississippi and early railroad lines, small family resorts emerged. They catered to the simple pleasures of an outdoor enthusiast: a good fishing lake, a passable road, and a lodge with a cabin or two. As the demands of tourists shifted throughout the twentieth century, the state's resorts were dramatically altered. The Early Resorts of Minnesota:Tourism in the Land of 10,000 Lakes explains how resorts evolved, their prime locations, owners, amenities, and the rustic elegance that made Minnesota's resorts national icons. This book provides images from early tourism, with a website to help you further explore the history of Minnesota's treasures.
