  • FJ Bruce Larson -BL
    Francis A. Johnson Narrator Bruce Larson Interviewer July 24, 1973 Francis A. Johnson -FJ Bruce Larson -BL BL: First of all you mentioned that your father was born in Sweden. I'm just wondering what he may have told you about those years in Sweden. Do you remember anything in particular? FJ: Well, he often mentioned about his father, who was a sea captain on that large lake, Lake Vanern, largest lake in Sweden, and that he was gone for a month at a time. In other words, it took a month to make a trip, the trip that he made on the lake. Of course, his mother died when he was twelve, I believe, and his father died when he was seventeen. Then he went to work in the Liljedal Glassworks in that town... BL: Do you think his political thinking was influenced by his experiences in Sweden? Had he ever mentioned that? FJ: Well, not so much from his early life in Sweden, I think he was nineteen years old when he left there, but his life was molded mostly after he come to America. With cutting wood on the farm and hauling it twelve miles to the county seat to sell it to get money to live on, he used to organize the wood haulers to get a better price for their wood. And they would wait til late in the day to sell their wood, holding out for a better price. Then, of course, they'd have to unload it and go home whether they got a better price or not.

  • Carver Historic District
    Jonathan Carver 1710-1780 2014 UPDATE Highlights of Carver History • Ten thousand years ago glacial River Warren flowed through the Minnesota River Valley on which Carver is situated, carrying melt water away from retreating glaciers and leaving rich deposits of clay, sand, gravel, and fine silt soils, while cutting a deep and spectacular landscape. The River Warren was variously called the Riviere Pierre, the St. Peter River, Maddepaw, Menesotar, and finally the Minnesota River. Minnesota, a Dakota Indian name given to both the river and the state, means “sky tinted water”. • Carver and its surrounding Minnesota River Valley environs was occupied by Native Americans of the Woodland Culture from about 1200 B. C. to 1850 A. D. This occupation was often a seasonal hunting and gathering event, though in more recent times it was given over to summer planting and late season harvesting. The Minnesota River was long a Native American waterway for travel by dugout, canoe, and on ice during frozen periods. • Pierre-Charles Le Seuer is the first European known to have navigated the Minnesota River. In 1683 and 1700 he made exploration trips for King Louis XIV of France along the area that became Carver. • In 1766 Captain Jonathan Carver, working for the British, explored the Minnesota River area near present day Carver while making maps and searching for a western water route that flowed across North America to the Pacific Ocean. He named a small branch flowing into the Minnesota River “Carver’s River”, after himself, carving his name in a tree at its outlet. This is almost certainly the Carver Creek of today.

  • The John Lind Papers
    THE JOHN LIND PAPERS^ The life of John Lind spans a period of time antedating by five years the beginning of the Civil War and postdat­ ing by twelve years the close of the World War. His public career took its inception In the closing years of the recon­ struction period, when Hayes was president, and terminated in the years of readjustment foUowing the World War. His papers record the fortunes of an emigrant boy caught In the torrent of forces that brought hundreds of thousands of Swedes to a country which many of them, in flights of fancy, thought of as the "Land of Canaan." John Lind became successively schoolteacher, lawyer, county superintendent of schools, receiver of public moneys in a federal land oflice, congressman, governor, member of the board of regents of the University of Minnesota, and diplomat. Whether in of­ fice or out of office, his influence counted heavily in the inner councils of political parties; and throughout his career he was an oracle of progressive and independent thought. The Lind Papers are important In themselves. But just as it is true that no man llveth unto himself, so is It also true that a man's personal papers become even more signifi­ cant when they become a part of a manuscript collection of an institution like the Minnesota Historical Society. ' This paper was read by Dr. Stephenson at the meeting of the execu­ tive council of the Minnesota Historical Society on April 13, 1936. Mrs. John Lind presented the main group of her husband's papers early in January.

    Carl H. Chrislock. ETHNICITY CHALLENGED: THE UPPER MIDWEST NORWEGIAN-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE IN WORLD WAR I. Northfield, Minnesota: The Norwegian-American Historical Association, 1981. 167 pages. This little volume, modestly designated a topical study, is a worthy historical monograph giving evidence of patient research and wise interpretation. The author, a professor of history at Augsburg College, has previously published The Progressive Era in Minnesota, 1899-1918 (1971). In the present work he states as his purpose "to interpret the clash between ethnic preservationism and anti-hyphenism within the Norwegian-American community in the Upper Midwest between 1915 and 1922." Chrislock is familiar with the sources and has made excellent use of the immigrant newspapers and other materials. There are over twenty pages of end notes and a useful index, not to mention a number of photographs of spokesmen for Norwegiandom in America. The war of 1914-1918 caught the peoples, if not the governments, of Europe and America unprepared. No major struggle had occurred in western Europe since the Franco-German War of 1870-1871. Pre-war crises had somehow been overcome. Few envisioned the day when nationalism, militarism, economic imperialism, and a great-power alliance system would lead to an international conflagration of unprecedented magnitude. While the Scandinavian states succeeded in remaining neutral, their fate was of deep concern to their emigrated countrymen in America. But the main attention of Norwegian-Americans was directed toward the implications of the European war for the United States. There is much in this book that suggests a common Scandinavian experience and position. As neutral states, the Scandinavian countries were known to be trading, as in peace time, with Germany.

J. BUELL 1528 Laurel Avenue St. Paul, Minn. 1915 LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BURNQUIST, Who has twice organized the Senate for honesty, efficiency and economy in government. COMMENDATORY FORE WORD. The manuscript for this book has been prepared by C. J. Buell, who gave his entire time, during the legislative session of 1915, to a careful study of the record of each member of both House and Senate and a thoro analysis of all important measures. Mr. Buell has wisely left the record of each member to speak for itself. We know Mr. Buell to be honest, independent and fear- less, and believe he has produced a History of the Legis- lature of 1915 that every citizen can read with profit. (Signed) Hugh T. Halbert, Louis Nash, T. T. Hudson, Elwood 8. Corser. PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR. This is the fourth time that a history of the Minnesota Legislature has been given to the public. These books have attempted to analyze, in a clear, simple and fearless manner, the more important legislative work of each session; and to show to the voters just how thei~ representatives had voted in committee and on the do07 of the House and Senate on these important matters.

  • Farmer-Labor, Minnesota) Senator Lundeen Gave This Speech Detailing the History of the Minnesota Farmer Labor Party on August 15, 1940
    Speech before Congress by US Senator Ernest Lundeen, (Farmer-Labor, Minnesota) Senator Lundeen gave this speech detailing the history of the Minnesota Farmer Labor Party on August 15, 1940 Lundeen served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War. He served as a Republican from Minnesota in the United States House of Representatives, from March 4, 1917 to March 3, 1919 in the 65th congress. As representative, he was one of 50 Congressman to vote against the declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917.v He served as a Party member in the House from March 4, 1933 to January 3, 1937 in the 73rd and 74th congresses. He was elected to the Senate in 1936 as a member of the Farmer-Labor Party. He served from January 3, 1937 in the 75th and 76th congresses, until his death. On the afternoon of August 31, 1940, Lundeen was a passenger on Flight 19 of Pennsylvania Central Airlines, flying from Washington to Detroit. The plane, a Douglas DC-3, flew into turbulence from a thunderstorm. The plane crashed near Lovettsville, Virginia and all 25 persons on board were killed, including Senator Lundeen. FARMER -LABOR PARTY-- A POLITICAL PATTERN FOR AMERICA Mr. LUNDEEN. Mr. President, we have listened to Demo- cratic and Republican doctrines. We have heard the plat- forms and programs of both parties. The national conven- tions and the speeches delivered there have found a place in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Yet unemployment continues. The crisis is still with us. It seems to me that at this time a few words about the Farmer-Labor Party of Minnesota are timely and proper.

    REVIEWS OF BOOKS Paid Bu-nyan. By JAMES STEVENS. (New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1925. ix, 245 p. Illustrations.) Paul Bunyan. By ESTHER SHEPHARD. (Seattle, McNeil Press, 1924- 235 p.) Some of the intellectual influences of the westward movement have been suggested by Professor Frederick J. Turner in his brilliant essays on the frontier as a factor in American history, but the theme has not yet been thoroughly exploited. Certainly the frontier has done much to stimulate " that buoyancy and exu­ berance which comes with freedom." It has done more: it has given Americans in peculiar degree the habit of expansive think­ ing. Enormous areas of land were open to the pioneer and he undertook the task of taming a continent. Naturally, as these forces acted upon his spirit he adopted an increasingly master­ ful attitude toward men and things. What he did was done in a big and wasteful fashion, whether it was cutting down the trees of the virgin forests, opening up bonanza farms with their thousands upon thousands of acres, gathering up the mineral treasures of the earth, or spending the money that he accumu­ lated. Conservation is a distinctly modern term in its popular implications; it was not in the vocabulary of the pioneer. The hero of the frontier and indeed many of the heroes of American society have been " big " men in the pioneer sense, men embody­ ing the frontiersman's ideals, men moved by a fierce contempt for all that is not fashioned upon a large scale. American busi­ ness has exalted the master of great wealth, the baron of vast enterprises, the doer of stupendous deeds.
