SUMMARY:History Revealed: Relentless Business of Treaties
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMartin Case\, The Relentless Business of Treaties\nThursday\, November 7\, 2019\n7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nFree and open to all. No registration needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThe story of “western expansion” is a familiar one: US government agents\, through duplicity and force\, persuaded Native Americans to sign treaties that gave away their rights to the land. But this framing\, argues Martin Case\, hides a deeper story. Land cession treaties were essentially the act of supplanting indigenous kinship relationships to the land with a property relationship. And property is the organizing principle upon which US society is based. \nUS signers represented the relentless interests that drove treaty making: corporate and individual profit\, political ambition\, and assimilationist assumptions of cultural superiority. The lives of these men illustrate the assumptions inherent in the property system—and the dynamics by which it spread across the continent. In this book\, for the first time\, Case provides a comprehensive study of the treaty signers\, exposing their business ties and multigenerational interrelationships through birth and marriage. Taking Minnesota as a case study\, he describes the groups that shaped US treaty making to further their own interests: interpreters\, traders\, land speculators\, bureaucrats\, officeholders\, missionaries\, and mining\, timber\, and transportation companies. \n \nMartin Case\, freelance researcher and writer\, was a key participant in the development of Why Treaties Matter\, a collaboration of the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council\, the Minnesota Humanities Center\, and the Smithsonian Institute\, published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\nFor 2019 History Revealed programs\, see https://www.rchs.com/news/history-revealed-2019/\nNew programs are being added.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Under Ground
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMegan Marsnik: Under Ground\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 3\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nLike many stories of revolution and uprising\, Under Ground has passionately-spirited\, colorful protagonists and deeply-hated antagonists. It chronicles shootouts at labor rallies\, guns transported to and from secret bunkers\, fights in brothels\, police corruption\, xenophobia\, and false imprisonment. It features a cast of historical figures including Elizabeth Gurley Flynn\, Mother Jones\, Big Bill Haywood\, and socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs. It is about courage and consequences. But unlike most novels written about the labor movement in the U.S.\, this novel is told from the perspective of a strong\, immigrant woman\, who reminds us that there are things worth dying for\, but more importantly\, there are things to live for. \nCentering on a young woman named Katka\, a Slovenian immigrant who gets involved in the Iron Range miners’ strike of 1916\, Under Ground is the first novel that we are highlighting as part of our History Revealed series. Inspired by real people and historical events\, expertly researched\, with a strong sense of place and character\, the novel not only covers the strike of 1916\, but also labor history\, women on the Iron Range and immigration in the early 1900s. \nMegan Marsnik is the granddaughter of Slovenian immigrants\, the daughter of union activists\, and a union member herself. She was born and raised in Biwabik\, a small town on Minnesota’s Iron Range settled primarily by Eastern European and Scandinavian immigrants. Marsnik earned her MFA in writing and poetics from Naropa University in Boulder\, CO\, where she won the Jack Kerouac Award for outstanding prose. She teaches creative writing and philosophy to high school students in Minneapolis. “Under Ground\,” her debut novel\, is steeped in Minnesota history and is this year’s Star Tribune summer serial. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Wisconsin Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nDoug Hoverson\, The Drink That Made Wisconsin Famous: Beer & Brewing in the Badger State\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nSeptember 12\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:45 pm\nWaldmann’s Brewery & Wurstery\nFree and open to all.\nRegistration requested – Registration Form \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nAuthor and historian Doug Hoverson returns to Waldmann’s with his newest book\, The Drink That Made Wisconsin Famous\, a definitive history of beer and breweries in Wisconsin. \nFew places on Earth are as identified with beer as Wisconsin\, with good reason. Since its first commercial brewery was established in 1835\, the state has seen more than 800 open and more than 650 close—sometimes after mere months\, sometimes after thriving for as long as a century and a half. Doug Hoverson explores this rich history\, from the first territorial pioneers to the most recent craft brewers\, and from barley to barstool. Within the larger history\, every brewery has its story\, and Hoverson gives each its due\, investigating the circumstances that meant success or failure and describing in engaging detail the people\, the technology\, the marketing\, and the government relations that delivered Wisconsin’s beer from grain to glass. \nFrom the global breweries that developed in Milwaukee in the 1870s to the “wildcat” breweries of Prohibition and the upstart craft brewers of today\, Hoverson will tell the stories of Wisconsin’s rich brewing history. His research goes beyond the giants like Miller\, Schlitz\, Pabst\, and Heileman\, and examines the hundreds of small breweries across the state started by immigrants and entrepreneurs. Even before beer tourism became popular\, hunters\, anglers\, and travelers found their favorite brews in small Wisconsin cities like Rice Lake\, Stevens Point\, and Chippewa Falls. Hoverson will present some of these breweries in all their diversity\, from the earliest enterprises to the few surviving stalwarts to the modern breweries reviving Wisconsin’s reputation as a brewing state. \nDoug Hoverson is author of Land of Amber Waters: The History of Brewing in Minnesota (Minnesota\, 2007). He has written about beer and brewing history for publications ranging from American Breweriana Journal to The Growler to The Onion. He has been a consultant on documentaries about beer or related businesses and is a popular speaker on the history of beer. \n\nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served.\nPresentation is free.\nRegistration requested – Registration Form\nOr call 651-222-0701 or email membership@rchs.com. \nIt’s RCHS Day at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery!\nOn the second Thursday of each month\, 10% of all sales to RCHS members and their guests will be donated to the Ramsey County Historical Society! \nRCHS members and supporters are encouraged to come and enjoy a lunch/dinner/drink at Waldmann throughout the day\, or time your dinner so that you can stay for the presentation immediately after.

Green: The Children of Lincoln: White Paternalism and the Limits of Black Opportunity in Minnesota\, 1860-1876\nHistory Revealed Series\nSeptember 5\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nFree and open to all.

Green is professor of history at Augsburg University and author of The Children of Lincoln: White Paternalism and the Limits of Black Opportunity in Minnesota\, 1860-1876\, which is a finalist for the Minnesota Non-Fiction category of the 2019 Minnesota Book Awards\, to be awarded in April.

Workers employed through New Deal programs in the 1930s changed the shape of St. Paul & Minneapolis’ parks and trails. From stone walls to playgrounds and park shelters to beaches\, the New Deal’s imprint on our public landscape is indelible. \nOur tour will begin at East Side Freedom Library for a discussion about New Deal projects in Minnesota. Learn why parks\, trails\, and recreation were priorities for the New Deal. We’ll dig into questions of who was allowed to take part in this work\, and who was left behind. \nThen we’ll hop on a bus to explore two parks that showcase (in subtle and sometimes hidden ways) handiwork of New Deal era workers: Indian Mounds Regional Park and Phalen Regional Park. \nFinally\, learn how you can get involved in in finding and documenting New Deal projects. \nSpeaker & guide Natalie Heneghan is the Minnesota Associate for the Living New Deal\, a project to map New Deal sites all over the country. \nRCHS would like to thank the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota for their co-sponsorship of this event. \nFeatured image: A monument at Phalen Park to those CCC’ers who lost their lives on duty.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Floating Bethel
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nChristine Podas-Larson\, The Floating Bethel\nHistory Revealed Series\nJuly 25\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nChristine Podas-Larson\, author of the recent article in Ramsey County History magazine\, “Eliza Edgerton Newport and St. Paul’s Floating Bethel\, 1891-1903” will talk about the history of Saint Paul’s “Floating Bethel\,” a refuge for the working poor that was docked off Sibley Street on the Mississippi. Community leader and St. Paul resident Eliza Newport was well-educated and well-connected\, and she led many charitable organizations and community efforts at the end of the 19th century. Drawn to the work of the Bethel Association\, and in conjunction with other community leaders\, Eliza developed places where the poor and transient of the city could meet\, get food\, basic needs\, and have a safe place to stay. This culminated in the Floating Bethel\, a riverboat hotel & bathhouse on the Mississippi River that served the “floating class\,” river and railroad workers and their families. Over thirteen years it provided educational\, vocational\, and religious instruction for the guests. On July 5\, 1893 the Floating Bethel had a devastating fire. The legacy of the Floating Bethel lives on today through the Bethel Hotel\, a transitional housing program for men run by Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities. \nChristine Podas-Larson will present the history of the Floating Bethel\, and the work and life of her great-grandmother\, Eliza Newport in this fascinating presentation on the early years of Saint Paul. \n\nChristine Podas-Larson is the founder of Public Art Saint Paul\, where she was the organization’s Executive Director for many years. She is also the great-granddaughter of Eliza Edgerton Newport. \n2019 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2019 information page for updates and a list of programs.\nOr check our Calendar for these and other programs at the Gibbs Farm\, and more!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Downtown St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHistory Revealed: A Toast to History at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery\n\n\n\nIrik Nathanson: Downtown St. Paul\nThursday\, April 11\, 2019\n7:45 pm (note new time)\nFree and open to all. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \n\nMinnesota’s capital city was given a lofty identity when young Catholic priest Lucien Gaultier built a modest log chapel in a wilderness clearing and named it for his patron saint. St. Paul’s modern downtown would later take shape at this very site. In the mid-19th century\, St. Paul’s strategic location at the head of navigation on the Mississippi River was naturally suited as a way station for goods and a hub for settlers pouring into the Upper Midwest. While St. Paul had to relinquish its ranking as Minnesota’s largest city to its twin\, Minneapolis\, the city remains at the center of state politics as Minnesota’s state capital. Following World War II\, a suburban boom weakened the business district\, and downtown St. Paul fell into decline. Over the last 40 years\, however\, St. Paul’s downtown has been reinvented as a major sports\, entertainment\, and cultural center. \nIric Nathanson tells the story of this resilient urban district\, stretching over two centuries\, using images from local archives like the Minnesota Historical Society and the Hennepin County Public Library Special Collections. Nathanson’s most recent work includes The Minneapolis Riverfront and Downtown Minneapolis\, both in the Image of America series. \n\nRegistration is needed to attend presentations. Space is limited\, first-come\, first served.\nPresentation is free.\nRegistration requested. Registration form\nOr call 651-222-0701 or email membership@rchs.com. \nIt’s RCHS Day at Waldmann Brewery & Wurstery!\nOn the second Thursday of each month\, 10% of all sales to RCHS members and their guests will be donated to the Ramsey County Historical Society! \nRCHS members and supporters are encouraged to come and enjoy a lunch/dinner/drink at Waldmann throughout the day\, or time your dinner so that you can stay for the presentation immediately after.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Leavenworth Expedition
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nGary Brueggemann: The Long Legacy of the Leavenworth Expedition (1819-20)\nHistory Revealed Series\nJune 27\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nTwo hundred years ago the largest expedition to enter present-day Minnesota launched the development of an American military establishment near the meeting of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers that proved to be a great turning point in Minnesota history. Never before in history had so many non-natives in one group traveled so far up the Mississippi – more than 530 miles north of St. Louis and over 200 miles upriver from Prairie du Chien\, the northernmost settlement on the Mississippi in 1819. And never before had so many people from so many places made such a large “Cantonment” in that part of the wilderness. \nIncluded among the 128 members of this historic expedition were the first non-Indigenous women and children to enter present-day Minnesota\, and the former New York lawyer and politician and war hero who led them\, – the “polished gentleman” destined for fame but also misery – Commander Lieutenant Colonel Henry Leavenworth. The group’s adventurous story\, which included the tragic deaths of dozens of soldiers and extraordinary hardships for everyone\, is a significant chapter in Minnesota history; yet it is one of the lesser known ones remembered today – and when it is remembered its legacy is largely underappreciated and the details of the story greatly condensed. \nMinnesota historian and author Gary Brueggemann  has been extensively researching this interesting and important story and will share what he has uncovered in a special pictorial presentation. \nGary Brueggemann is a lifetime resident of St. Paul’s West 7th neighborhood\, and he credits his love of history to his father\, who inspired his son with tales about his own childhood growing up along the river below the Randolph Ave. bluff. Gary received undergraduate and graduate degrees from University Of Wisconsin – River Falls. Now retired\, in 1978 Gary developed the first-ever college accredited course on St. Paul history for Inver Hills Community College\, where he served as a history professor. \nPhoto of Colonel Henry Leavenworth\, Wikimedia Commons\, in the public domain.

What can they tell us about us? The elusive Canada lynx bears kittens in Minnesota’s northeastern woods. In the far southeastern part of the state\, the succulent Leedy’s roseroot clings to cold cliffs. On the northwestern grasslands\, the western prairie fringed orchid grows only on ancient glacial beach ridges. In the rivers of the Twin Cities metro area\, the snuffbox mussel snaps on a fish’s nose to give its larvae a temporary home. These species and fifteen others living in Minnesota are on the federal Endangered Species List. This book is an entertaining and educational journey through Minnesota’s diverse landscapes\, one wild and rare inhabitant at a time. Books will be available for purchase and signing. \nArvidson\, a talented science reporter and genial guide\, uncovers the stories of these plants and animals\, providing compelling views of the state’s northern pine forest\, deciduous forest\, and prairie landscapes. Readers learn how beach driving in Texas affects Minnesota’s northernmost bird; how ranchers feel about prairie minnows; how urban runoff affects rivers and therefore mussels; how the wolf ended up in court. Scientists\, orchid-hounds\, lawyers\, and nature lovers weigh in on the value and benefit of rare species—and their right to exist. \nAdam Regn Arvidson is a nonfiction writer and landscape architect living in Minneapolis.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Diesel Heart
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMelvin Carter Jr.: Diesel Heart\nwith Marvin R. Anderson\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nMay 7\, 2019\nTuesday\, 7:00 pm\nEast Side Freedom Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nFull of humor\, toughness\, hard work\, and surprising vulnerability\, this book shows the bitter weight of racism and the power of principled resistance.\n\nThe doctors gathered around\, passing the stethoscope from hand to hand\, taking turns listening to my chest. Finally\, the lead doctor said\, “Now\, that’s what I call a heartbeat!”\nI snapped\, “Whaddaya mean?”\n“It’s like hearing a diesel engine inside a Mustang body\,” he said. \nMelvin Whitfield Carter Jr.\, the father of St. Paul’s current mayor\, is a true son of Rondo\, the city’s storied African American neighborhood. He was born in a city divided along racial lines and rich in cultural misunderstanding. Growing up in the 1950s and ’60s\, he witnessed the destruction of his neighborhood by the I-94 freeway—and he found his way to fighting and trouble. \nBut Carter turned his life around. As a young man\, he enlisted in the US Navy. He used his fighting ability to survive racist treatment\, winning boxing matches and respect. And as an affirmative action hire in the St. Paul Police Department\, facing prejudice at every turn\, this hardworking\, talented\, and highly principled officer fought to protect the people of the city he calls home. \nDiesel Heart is the story of a leader who created a powerful family legacy by standing up for what is right\, even in the face of adversity. Marvin R. Anderson will be joining Melvin Carter in an informal\, engaging and enlightening conversation\, sharing Mr. Carter’s story and the history of a neighborhood and a city during a turbulent time. \nCopies of Diesel Heart will be available for purchase and signing. \nMelvin Whitfield Carter Jr. served as an officer in the St. Paul Police Department for twenty-eight years. He is the founder and executive director of Save Our Sons. \nMarvin Roger Anderson was raised in Saint Paul’s Rondo neighborhood before leaving to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta\, Georgia\, and then received his J.D. from Hastings College of Law in San Francisco. After serving int he Peace Corp\, he was an ordinance drafter for the city of Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights before earning his Master of Arts from the University of Minnesota’s School of Library Science. He was appointed State Law Librarian in 1980. Anderson’s tenure as State Law Librarian spanned 22 years and included many accomplishments including the “Everybody Wins” reading program\, which paired volunteer legal practitioners with elementary school students to encourage a life-long love of reading.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Metropolitan Dreams

How this grand Richardsonian Romanesque edifice\, which later came to be called the Metropolitan Building\, rose with the growth of Minneapolis only to fall in the throes of the city’s postwar renewal\, is revealed in Metropolitan Dreams in all its scandalous intrigue. It is a tale of urban growing pains and architectural ghosts and of colorful\, sometimes criminal characters amid the grandeur and squalor of building and rebuilding a city’s skyline. \nAgainst the thrumming backdrop of turn-of-the-century Minneapolis\, architectural critic and historian Larry Millett recreates the impressive rise of the massive office building\, its walls of green New Hampshire granite and red Lake Superior sandstone surrounding its true architectural wonder\, a dazzling twelve-story iron and glass light court. The drama\, however\, was far from confined to the building itself. A consummate storyteller\, Millett summons the frenetic atmosphere in Gilded Age Minneapolis that encouraged the likes of Northwestern Guaranty’s founder\, real estate speculator Louis Menage\, whose shady deals financed this Minneapolis masterpiece—and then forced him to flee both prosecution and the country a mere three years later. \nDubious as its financial beginnings might have been\, the economic circumstances of the Metropolitan’s demise were at least as questionable. Anchoring Minneapolis’s historic Gateway District in its heyday\, the building’s fortunes shifted with the city’s demographics and finally it fell victim to the fervor of one of the largest downtown urban renewal projects ever undertaken in the United States. Though the long and furious battle to save the Metropolitan ultimately failed in 1962\, its ghost persists in the passion for historic preservation stirred by its demise—and in Metropolitan Dreams\, whose photographs\, architectural drawings\, and absorbing narrative bring the building and its story to vibrant\, enduring life. \nLarry Millet.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Homes vs Factories
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nMarc Manderscheid: Homes vs. Factories: The 95-Year Battle over the Future of the South Highland Park Neighborhood”\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 6\, 2019\nSaturday\, 1:00 pm\nSt. Paul Highland Library\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed\, our program series featuring presentations and tours from the best of local historians\, authors and archaeologists\, with a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nThe opening of the Ford plant in Highland Park in 1924 was only the beginning. Business leaders wanted the entire area south of St. Paul Avenue for industrial development: 700 acres above the bluff for factories and 600 acres on the Mississippi River for coal receiving by barge. \nMarc Manderscheid will present “Homes vs. Factories: The 95-Year Battle over the Future of the South Highland Park Neighborhood.”  He will explain how city and business leaders planned to make a great new industrial district\, but multiple factors killed the industrial dream: “down zoning” and changing economics then created the current residential neighborhood. \nFeatured image: Aerial view of the Highland Park neighborhood\, looking south.
