I also inquired about seeing some of the earliest photos of Saturday 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Saint Paul, one of which is included on today’s bulletin cover. (The images were known as Daguerreotypes, named after its inventor, a Frenchman by the EUCHARISTIC ADORATION name of Louis Daguerre, in 1839.

Following the Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. slightly earlier settlement at Mendota (naming the chapel after St. Peter), he Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. suggested calling the settlement St. Paul. Since 13 out of the 20 families in GUIDED TOURS the settlement were Catholic, Galtier's desire carried considerable weight.

    STUDY RESOURCE GUIDE US DAKOTA WAR OF 1862 RAMSEY COUNTY www.usdakotawarmncountybycounty.com Copyright © 2012 EVENTS: battles, deaths, injuries. Background: For its first 100 years, the history of Ramsey County was, to a great extent, the history of St. Paul, the county seat and the capital of Minnesota.The land north of the small settlement of St. Paul, which at the time stretched between upper and lower steamboat landings on the Mississippi River, was open land dotted with small lakes and clumps of trees, laced with streams and crisscrossed by wagon roads that often followed trails used earlier by bands of Sioux and Ojibway traveling through the area. A military road extended north from Fort Snelling along what is now Snelling Ave. Territorial Road ran roughly parallel to present-day I-94, linking St. Paul with the village of St. Anthony at St. Anthony Falls. Several Red River ox cart trails crossed what is now the Midway area, again linking St. Anthony with St. Paul. The area that is now St. Paul had Mdewakanton Dakota living there from the late 17th century to 1837, when the area was opened for settlement by the Treaty of 1837; Dakota groups such as Little Crow V and his people moved down river to Kaposia. Fur traders, missionaries and explorers were attraced to the area because of Fort Snelling, which was established in 1819. Early settlement developed around Lamberts Landing as a trading center and grew as a shipping and transportation center supplying nearby Fort Snelling and serving as a transit way for incoming settlers.

  • St. Paul Chapel Star Tribune Article
    The chapel 175 years ago that led to St. Paul By Curt Brown Minneapolis Star Tribune- AUGUST 22, 2016 — 12:08PM FRESCO BY MARK BALMA The first log chapel can be seen on the hillside in this fresco showing the Rev. Augustin Ravoux welcoming Bishop Joseph Cretin to St. Paul in 1851. As a judicial referee in Hennepin County's family court, Mark Labine sifts through stories in hopes of determining which are most plausible and true. Those skills have proved valuable in his off hours, too, as he researches one of St. Paul's oldest families: his own. Labine's third and fourth great-grandfathers — Isaac Labissoniere and his father, Joseph — arrived in St. Paul in the 1830s when the riverboat landing was still known as Pig's Eye Marsh after the area's squinty-eyed liquor dealer, Pig's Eye Parrant. The Labissonieres were among eight French Canadian settlers who built the area's first log chapel 175 years ago — the precursor of the grand stone Cathedral of St. Paul. The city's first Catholic church cost about $65 and took only a few days to construct in 1841 on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River between what became Minnesota and Cedar streets. The area "was thinly covered with groves of red and white oak," Isaac Labissoniere said in a 1907 interview, when he was in his 80s. "The logs for the chapel were cut on the spot … rough and undressed, prepared 1 merely by the ax, were made secure by wooden pins. The roof was made of steeply slanting bark-covered slabs, donated by a mill owner in Stillwater." A model of that simple wooden house of worship, along with a collection of historic images, highlight a 175th anniversary parish history exhibit, opening Sunday in the lower level of the cathedral.
