" I "HE American Biographical History of the Pacii-ic States and the Northwest -*- comprises four quarto vokmies ilUistrated with steel-plate engravings, and handsomely bound in full morocco. The work is pureK' an American idea, and is in the direction of assimilating American literature with American civilization. Viewed merely in the light of its primary purpose, without reference to collateral aims, the present work is simply a valuable and comprehensive Biographical Dictionary and Portrait (iailery ot the eminent men whose eventful lives are interwoven with the annals ot the nation. But this view is quite inadequate because superficial. Biography is the basis of history. It exhibits the political, social, religious, and intellectual condition of the people at every period of national existence. Instead of giving an account, in laborious detail, of all the events that have occurred from time to time in the growth of the State, biography and history are combined, grouping together the most striking and picturesque features that have dis- life tinguished the early and more heroic period of pioneer ; thus illustrating each important stage in the .State's progress and development. A liberal patronage is anticipated for the American Biographical History of the Northwest in Eastern localities. Its perusal will awaken a feeling of mutual regard and sympath)- ; and these memoirs, revealing the toils and privations of pioneer life, in the development of a new civilization, will be read with fraternal interest throughout the Atlantic States antl in luirope.

Two public events which will always remain foremost in the history of Minnesota will ever make the name of John Sargent Pillsbury prominent. Although he has achieved eminence as a man of affairs and of rare business and executive ability, yet to posterity his name will be held in the highest honor on account of two memorable trans- actions. We refer, firstly, to his labors in behalf of the University of Minnesota, whereby he saved it from practical extinction, and placed it among the foremost institutions of the Northwest ; and, secondly, to his actions in bringing about an adjustment of the repudiated State bonds. John Sargent Pillsbury was born at Sutton, Merrimac County, New Hampshire, on July 29, 1838. His parents were John Pillsbury and Susan (Wadleigh) Pillsbury. His ancestors on both sides were of the original Puritan stock, the American branch of the family starting with Joshua Pillsbury, who came to Newburyport, Massachusetts, from Eng- land, in 1640. Joshua received a grant of land at Newburyport, a portion of which remains in the Pillsbury family to this day. From Joshua descended a large family, many of whom for have filled positions of honor and trust ; and the Pillsbury family has always been noted the two characteristics of personal integrity and individual force of character. Micajah Pillsbury, the great-grandfather of John Sargent Pillsbury, settled in Sutton, Ne\v Hamp- shire, in 1790. The father of the subject of this sketch was John Pillsbury, a manufacturer and a man for many years prominent in local and State affairs in New Hampshire, where he held various offices. He died in 1857, leaving a high reputation. To John Pillsbury were successful business men in Concord, born three sons : George A. Pillsbury, one of the most New Hampshire, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, in both of which cities he has held the position of Mayor; Benjamin F. Pillsbury, of Granite Falls, Minnesota; and John Sargent Pillsbury, of whom we write. The opportunities for an education afforded John S. Pillsbury were limited, and during his boyhood were confined to the common schools of his native town. In those days, in the neighborhood of his birth, no such opportunities were afforded for an education as e.xist find S. to-day. Work and application were required of all ; and in his early teens we John commencing to learn the painter's trade. At about sixteen years of age his natural taste for trade and business led him to abandon painting, and enter upon a mercantile life. He commenced as a clerk for his older brother, George A. Pillsbury, in a general country store, at Warner, New Hampshire, continuing for four years in the employ of his brother, and for two or three years with William Carter, Jr., who succeeded his brother in business. Shortly II 12 NORTHWEST BIOGRAPHY. after reaching his majority, John S. entered into a trading partnership with Walter Harri- man, which continued for about two years. A peculiar coincidence of this partnership was that in after life Harriman became Governor of New Hampshire, and Pillsbury Governor of Minnesota. It was in those early experiences of life in a country store that Governor Pillsbury developed that business sagacity which afterwards made the name of Pillsbury coextensive with that of the United States, and everywhere suggestive of business enter- prise and success. The discipline and experience which he obtained in the New-Iuigland country-store of forty years ago, and the long time he was at service as an apprentice and clerk, contrast sharply with the idea which prevails among young men to-dav, wlio seem to think that a year's experience as an employe of others fits them for any position. But it was those long days and nights of hard work which developed the thorough and successful man of later years. After the partnership with Harriman terminated, John S. removed to Concord, New Hampshire, where for four years he was engaged as a merchant-tailor and cloth-dealer. During these years he had been watching the signs of the times, and became convinced that the largest opportunities for business success were in the West, and he then became the pioneer of the Pillsbury family in this region. In 1853 he started on a trip of observation, for the purpose of finding a desirable place in which to locate permanently. After considerable travel, through the Western and Northwestern States, in June, 1855, he visited Minnesota, and when he saw the Falls of St. Anthony he became convinced that sooner or later a large metropolis would be built there. He settled permanently at what was then St. Anthony, but what is now an essential part of the city of Minneapolis. He at once engaged in the hardware business. He succeeded until the panic of 1857, when a loss of about $30,000 bv fire in a single night met him. This loss, occurring in the midst of the financial distress of the time, to most men would have been ruinous. It only served to develop and strengthen his courage, and to nerve him for greater action. In this connection we might sjieak of one of his peculiar traits : his ability to snatch victory out of the very jaws of defeat. In emer- gencies which would have disheartened most men, he has always stood forth to the best ad- vantage. In the every -day events of life, when everything is running smoothh-, he might perhaps pass for an ordinary man ; but all through life, when trying ordeals have come, he has always been recognized as a leader among men.

In 1883, the Minneapolis Mill Company hired William de la Barre as an engineer and agent for the waterpower works. A number of the mills had installed auxiliary steam engines to supplement the waterpower. Meanwhile De la Barre proposed to solve the waterpower problem by increasing the head and fall available. Working on the West Side canal (Minnesota Historical Society) According to Kane, “De la Barre undertook to deepen the canal and lower the tailraces under his jurisdiction, while the millers promised to lower their wheel pits, tailraces, and headraces. Before the year ended, De la Barre had deepened the canal from 14 to 20 feet and lengthened it from 600 to 950 feet. The expansion increased its flowage capacity from 30 to 40 per cent and raised the water level to produce more power by bring water to the lessees’ wheels at a greater head.

DEDICATION To the surviving members of the Oglethorpes, with whom I shared the dangers and hardships of soldier life and to the memory of those who fell on the firing line, or from ghostly cots in hospital Avards, with fevered lip and wasted forms, "drifted out on the unknown sea that rolls round all the Avorld," these memories are tenderly and afifectionatelv inscribed bv their old friend and comrade. PREFACE. For the gratification of my old comrades and in grate- hil memory of their constant kindness during all our years of comradeship these records have been written. The Avriter claims no special qualification for the task save as it may lie in the fact that no other survivor of the Company has so large a fund of material from which to draw for such a purpose. In addition to a war journal, whose entries cover all my four years service, nearly every letter Avritten by me from camp in those eventful years has been preserved. WHiatever lack, therefore, these pages may possess on other lines, they furnish at least a truth­ ful portrait of what I saw and felt as a soldier. It has beeen my purpose to picture the lights rather than the shadoAvs of our soldier life.

Carmody, Administrator WORK PROJECTS ADMINISTRATION F. C. Harrington, Commissioner Florence Kerr, Assistant Commissioner S. L. Stolte, State Administrator Foreword In the modern progress of a large city, the stirring and signifi¬ cant events of its earlier growth often are little heard of or are quickly forgotten by the very people who benefit most from the hard-won achievements of its pioneers. A comprehensive history such as Minneapolis: The Story of a City, made easily available to the people of the community, becomes a valuable contribution to their knowledge, a permanent record of the community’s origin and development. The book’s account of obstacles overcome, of continuous growth from year to year, pro¬ vides a stimulus for still further growth and improvement. To people living elsewhere who may see this book, it will, I believe, be an invitation to consider Minneapolis as a good place in which to live, or an interesting place to visit—a point of some importance in consideration of Minneapolis’ present active effort to attract new residents, new business, and more vacation visitors. The casual reader of this book, even though he enjoy and profit by its contents, scarcely will understand the vast amount of careful study and research, the thought and planning given to its contents and arrangement, and the long hours of writing, editing and revi¬ sion which made it the well done volume that it is.

The dual themes of slavery and power deeply divided the growing nation during the first half of the 19th century. The mission of the Civil War Preservation Trust (CWPT) is to preserve the significant Civil War battlefields by protecting the land and educating the public about the vital roles those battlefields played in directing the course of the nation's history. This 2-week CWPT curriculum is designed for students in grades 5,8, and 11. For each grade level, there are six sections: (1) "Disunion"; (2) "War"; (3) "Soldier Life"; (4) "Preservation";(5) Battlefield Field Trips"; and (6)"The War at Home." These sections are vital in using battlefield land as outdoor classrooms. The curriculum contains ideas for the classroom as well as ideas for interdisciplinary activities.
