He partnered with publisher Olly Burton. Together\, they ran their work by test audiences. They even contacted the postal authorities to make sure they could send promotional materials and the book itself through the mail. They were reminded by one postal official of the Comstock Law. Despite that\, they proceeded as planned. \nAuthors Ryan T. Hurt and Paul Nelson\, will share the story of Dr. Malchow\, Olly Burton and the aftermath of their publication. \nFor a PDF of their article in Ramsey County History magazine\, “A Doctor Ahead of His Time and the Trouble that Followed: The Sexual Life by Charles W. Malchow\,” see the link here. \nRyan T. Hurt is a physician and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester\, MN. Born in Rochester\, he attended Hamline University as an undergraduate. He serves on the Mayo Clinic Historical Committee and has an interst in the history of medicine. \nPaul Nelson is an amateur historian living in St. Paul. Born and raised in Ohio’s Connecticut Western Reserve\, he is the author of many publications on Minnesota history\, including for Ramsey County History magazine\, and the RCHS podcast series\, and is a graduate of University of Minnesota’s Law School.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Sinking Middle Class
DESCRIPTION:The Sinking Middle Class\nA conversation with historian David Roediger\nHistory Revealed Series\nFebruary 11\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom and streamed on Facebook\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegistration: Zoom Registration Page\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \n“Middle class” is an ideologically shaped and deployed term in American culture and politics. Activist-scholar David Roediger makes clear in his pointed and persuasive polemic\, this obsession with the middle-class is relatively new in US politics. It began with the attempt to win back so-called “Reagan Democrats” by Bill Clinton and it was accompanied by a pandering to racism and a shying away from meaningful wealth redistribution that continues to this day. \nDrawing on rich traditions of radical social thought\, Roediger disavows the thinly sourced idea that the United States was\, for much of its history\, a “middle-class” nation and the still more indefensible position that it is one now. The increasing immiseration of large swathes of middle-income America\, only accelerated by the current pandemic\, nails a fallacy that is a major obstacle to progressives. \n \nDavid Roediger taught in the 1990s at the University of Minnesota and now teaches American Studies at the University of Kansas. His books include Seizing Freedom\, The Wages of Whiteness\, How Race Survived U.S. History\, and Towards the Abolition of Whiteness and Working toward Whiteness. His book The Production of Difference (with Elizabeth Esch) recently won the International Labor History Association Book Prize. He is past president of the American Studies Association and of the Working-Class Studies Association. \nProfessor Roediger will be joined in conversation by: \nAugust Nimtz\, Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at the University of Minnesota. August has been an activist in progressive movements in the Twin Cities (and beyond) since the 1970s with a particular emphasis on solidarity with the people of Cuba. \nKieran Knutson\, President of Communications Workers of America Local 7250 (Minnesota AT&T). Kieran has been a long time activist at the intersection of the racial justice and labor movements. \nMegan Brown\, Assistant Professor in the Masters in Advocacy and Political Leadership (MAPL) program at Metropolitan State University. A geographer by training and trade\, Megan has recently found her way to St. Paul. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Workers on Arrival
DESCRIPTION:Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America\nDr. Joe Trotter\nWith Dr. William Jones\nHistory Revealed Series\nFebruary 10\, 2021\nWednesday\, 6:00-7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister Here\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nDr. Joe W. Trotter\, Jr. Giant Eagle Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon University\, will discuss his book with moderator Dr. William Jones\, Professor of History at the University of Minnesota \nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota History Department\, the Labor and Working Class History Association\, the Ramsey County Historical Society\, and the East Side Freedom Library\, and it serves as a fundraiser for the East Side Freedom Library. It is part of two on-going series: the University of Minnesota History Department’s History Book Club and the “History Revealed” series co-sponsored by the Ramsey County Historical Society and the East Side Freedom Library. \nSince earning his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in 1980\, Dr. Trotter had had an enormous impact on the fields of African American and labor history. His books include Black Milwaukee: The Making of an Industrial Proletariat  (1985); Coal Class and Color: Blacks in Southern West Virginia\, 1915-1932 (1990); The Great Migration in Historical Perspective (1991); and several collections of essays and documents\, which have been central to the teaching of these fields. Workers On Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America  (2019) weaves Dr. Trotter’s research and writings into a single narrative which makes a compelling case for understanding the place of African Americans in U.S. history as producers\, as labor. \nFor this evening’s program\, Dr. Trotter will be engaged in conversation with another prominent historian of African American workers\, William P. Jones. A professor of history at the University of Minnesota and president of the Labor and Working Class History Association\, Dr. Jones is author of two award-winning books\, The Tribe of Black Ulysses: African American Lumber Workers in the Jim Crow South (2005) and The March on Washington: Jobs\, Freedom\, and the Forgotten History of Civil Rights (2013). He has been a guest on the PBS Newshour\, NPR’s “The Takeaway\,” and Democracy Now! and he has written for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Nation\, and other publications. He is currently writing a book on public employees and the transformation of the U.S. economy after World War II. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

We commemorate these women and their work in Ramsey County and their contributions to American history and to the rights of women in this exhibition. \nThe exhibition will feature some of the Minnesota women who were leaders in the fight for suffrage and women’s rights\, telling their stories through historical information and photos\, and well as with original portraits commissioned by RCHS and created by local\, Minnesota\, South Dakota\, and New York artists. \nJoin us online on October 8 as we celebrate these women and their accomplishments with a very special event. You’ll be able to talk with the artists who researched and created the portraits of these women and learn more about how the artists connected with their subjects\, their artistic processes\, and what they discovered in their research into these suffrage leaders. \nYou’ll also have a preview of the new online exhibition\, Persistence: Continuing the Struggle for Suffrage and Equality\, 1848-2020 created for everyone to view until it is safe to share it in person. \nWatch for more information on the exhibition and the event coming soon! \nPreliminary exhibition website: https://www.rchs.com/news/persistence-exhibition/ \nFeatured image: Teresa Peyton by Klaire A.

SUMMARY:Courthouse Art Project Update & Input Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join RCHS\, artists\, and community members for an update and input meeting at the East Side Freedom Library to discuss the art project for the Ramsey County Courthouse/Saint Paul City Hall Council Chambers. \nWe are in the midst of a period in which historical monuments\, markers\, and murals have become focal points of community discussions across the country. These conversations have come to the fore in Saint Paul\, and the City and County governments requested that RCHS lead an effort to add new artwork to the Council Chambers of the Saint Paul City Hall – Ramsey County Courthouse. The goals for this project include commissioning new\, original artwork that interprets the same overarching themes in the 83-year-old murals currently on display in the Council Chambers—celebrating the people and progress of Saint Paul and Ramsey County. \nFour new pieces of art are being commissioned\, with two new pieces displayed concurrently with original murals in the Council Chambers for a period of several months. The city and county will determine a rotation schedule that will ensure that each of the original murals and new pieces is exhibited over the course of a year. Interpretive panels will be added that provide additional context about the existing murals as well as each of the new pieces. Through an open application process\, twenty artists submitted proposals\, and a citizens’ task force organized by RCHS selected four artists for these projects. We invite you to meet them\, learn about their work\, and express your own perspectives about what you would like to see on the walls. Please come and share your ideas. \nOver the next five months RCHS and the Task Force will develop interpretive panels and create online materials that provide more information on the existing and new art. Additional materials will be provided that articulate the wide variety of perspectives on the existing artwork and generally how discriminatory\, controversial\, or otherwise problematic public art from the past is addressed today. As this discussion continues to unfold here and around the country\, there is value in recognizing and presenting these varied perspectives. \nFor bios of the selected artists\, and more information on the project\, see https://www.rchs.com/news/courthouse_chamber_artists/ \nFree and open to all. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Tracing Teddy Roosevelt
DESCRIPTION:Special Event \nJames Blase\, Tracing TR’s 1903 Train Trip Tour: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt’s Death in 1919\nHistory Revealed Series\nJuly 14\nSunday\, 2:30-4:00 pm\nLandmark Center\n\nPresentation & Book Signing: Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\nReservations requested – see the page here or call the office at 651-222-0701. Free 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. \nAs part of his “Tracing TR’s 1903 Train Trip Tour\,” author James Blase will be presenting the history of Teddy Roosevelt’s train trip throughout the country in the spring of 1903\, one that culminated in a stop at the Grand Canyon. Blase’s new book\, Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\, creates a first-person journal of a 66-day western train trip the President made during his first term in office\, in 1903 – a year after the Landmark Center first opened its doors. The train trip included a stop in Saint Paul\, where Theodore Roosevelt arrived by train at 2:30 pm on April 4\, 1903\, and where the President spoke to a crowd estimated at approximately 50\,000 outside the Cedar Street side of the State Capitol. Late in the afternoon the President travelled to Minneapolis\, where he attended a banquet and made a speech at the Nicolette Hotel. \nJim Blase’s presentation\, complete with photos\, will cover the entire 66-day trip\, but he will be emphasizing the President’s stops in Saint Paul and Minneapolis. The presentation is being made in conjunction with a two-week Amtrak western “loop tour” train trip Jim Blase will be making\, beginning in St Louis Missouri (the “Gateway to the West”) on July 1\, and continuing through New Mexico\, the Grand Canyon\, Southern California\, Oregon\, Montana\, North Dakota and Minnesota\, culminating back in St. Louis. The tour’s route mirrors much of the President’s in 1903. \n \nSigned copies of Keep it for Your Children: Theodore Roosevelt’s 1903 Western Trip\, Blase’s 390-page book\, the title of which derives from the President’s May 6\, 1903 speech at the Grand Canyon\, will be available at a discounted price. \nReservations requested – see the page here or call the RCHS office at 651-222-0701. Space is limited. \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: Wild & Rare
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nAdam Regn Arvidson\, Wild & Rare: Tracking Endangered Species in the Upper Midwest\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nJune 11\, 2019\n6:00 pm: Prairie Tour\n7:00 pm: Presentation & Book Signing\nGibbs Farm\nFree and open to all. No reservations needed. \nJoin us prior to the presentation to tour our restored native prairie! \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. \nCompelling stories of Minnesota’s endangered species\, the landscapes that nurture them\, and the people who are discovering their secrets.What can endangered species tell us about our part of the world? 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.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Metropolitan Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nLarry Millett: Metropolitan Dreams\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 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. \nThe story of one of Minnesota’s most famous and most mourned buildings\, set against the history of downtown Minneapolis. \nWhen it opened in 1890\, the twelve-story Northwestern Guaranty Loan Building was the tallest\, largest\, and most splendid commercial structure in Minneapolis—a mighty stone skyscraper built for the ages. 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. Photo by Matt Schmidt.\nLarry Millett is the author of many notable books on regional architecture\, including Once There Were Castles\, Minnesota Modern: Architecture and Life at Midcentury (winner of a Minnesota Book Award)\, and Heart of St. Paul: A History of the Pioneer and Endicott Buildings\, all published by Minnesota\, as well as Lost Twin Cities\, Minnesota’s Own: Preserving Our Grand Homes\, and several AIA Guides to the architecture of the Twin Cities. He has also written eight historical novels involving Sherlock Holmes set in turn-of-the-century Minnesota. \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!

By depicting wildlife as part of an ecological setting\, and highlighting places in need of preservation\, they played a critical role in building the conservation movement. The Bell Museum’s dioramas were created during the peak of the diorama era and are considered among the finest in the world. When the Bell Museum started to plan for a new facility\, moving and re-interpreting the dioramas was a central concern. \nIn this talk\, Don will trace the history of dioramas\, introduce the artists and naturalists who created the dioramas here in Minnesota\, and discuss the process of moving and re-imagining them for the new Bell Museum \nAbout Don Luce\, Curator of Exhibits\, Bell Museum\, University of Minnesota \nDon Luce has worked in the museum world for four decades.
