SUMMARY:North Star: Civil War Stories Free Public Event

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Nick Coleman
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nJohn Watson Milton\, For the Good of the Order: Nick Coleman\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nNovember 30\, 2017\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. \nJoin RCHS for a new series\, History Revealed\, featuring the best of local history authors talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nJohn Watson Milton will present the story of Nick Coleman\, the son of Irish immigrants who was an influential Minnesota state senator in the 1960’s and 1970’s\, and had an unsuccessful run for Governor. Coleman was instrumental in changing the Minnesota legislative branch and its agenda to a more progressive and respected one\, and was also instrumental in passing many reforms\, including the “Minnesota Miracle\,” legislation that shifted the burden for public education from property taxes to a more progressive state income tax. The presentation will touch on Coleman’s work and accomplishments\, the many great leaders he worked with from both sides of the political line\, and his legacy to Minnesota\, the nation and his family. \nMilton is the author of For the Good of the Order\, Nick Coleman and the High Tide of Liberal Politics in Minnesota\, published by RCHS. Books will be available for purchase. \n \nJohn Watson Milton was born in St. Paul\, Minnesota. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton and the Woodrow Wilson School; he also studied at the Harvard School of Business. At Princeton he was the editorial chairman of The Daily Princetonian. Milton has published a wide variety of written works\, including poetry\, essay\, recipes\, speeches and short stories. He has written numerous articles for Ramsey County History magazine\, and authored For the Good of the Order\, Nick Coleman and the High Tide of Liberal Politics in Minnesota\, published by RCHS. His biographical novel\, The Fallen Nightingale\, won two national awards for historical fiction. The author lives with his Panamanian-born wife\, Maureen Angélica Acosta\, on a small farm in Afton\, Minnesota\, where he writes and grows wine-grapes. \nAs a Princeton sophomore\, Milton received a piece of valuable advice from Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway\, who told him: “If you’re a writer\, you write. No matter what happened last night\, no matter how much you drank\, no matter whose bed you climbed out of in the morning\, you write. If you don’t\, you’re not a writer.” \nHistory Revealed Program Series\nPlease note that topics and speakers may change. Check the website and our Facebook page for updates.

Prior to his appointment\, he was Chief Resource Manager\, and the Historian and Cultural Resources Specialist. He was the District Historian\, St. Paul District\, Corps of Engineers\, 1980-2000\, and was the Chief of the District Cultural Resources Staff.
