SUMMARY:History Revealed: Tikkun Olam
DESCRIPTION:Tikkun Olam: Jewish Women Serving Their St. Paul Community\nwith Kate Dietrick\, Gabrielle Horner\, and Janet Kampf\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, March 17\, 2022\n7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library and the Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Zoom Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day\, Making Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants. These programs focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. We expect these presentations to enrich and complicate our understanding of the development of the county and the state that we call home. \nFive women from St. Paul’s Jewish community—Hannah Austrian\, Sophie Wirth\, Annie Paper\, Gretta Freeman\, and Rhoda Redleaf embraced and helped resettle impoverished Jewish immigrants through education efforts\, job training\, and by providing relief. They also rallied for basic rights\, stepping up in times when progressive actions by women were often frowned upon. While their names may have been forgotten by most\, their work to make the world a better place still impacts the local community to this day. Their lives provide insights into Jewish immigrant life in the upper Midwest in the late nineteenth century. \nAuthors and historians Kate Dietrick\, Gabe Horner and Janet Kampf will present the stories of these women and the long-lasting effects that their efforts have had on the Jewish community. \nTo learn more\, see the Ramsey County History article in the Fall 2021 issue. \nImage: Boys at the Lake Rest Vacation Home\, established in 1911 was renamed Sophie Wirth Camp in 1926 to honor the work of Sophie Wirth. \nKate Dietrick is the archivist for the Nathan and Theresa Berman Upper Midwest Jewish Archives at the University of Minnesota. She is a resident of St. Paul and a member of Mount Zion Temple. \nGabrielle Horner is a descendant of Italian\, German and English immigrants to St. Paul and is a lifelong resident.

Her interests in genealogy and immigration led her to pursue a degree in History.

Her teaching career spans almost 4 decades working with students of all ages\, from pre-school to young adults\, in Europe and the United States. She currently teaches ESL (English as a Second Language) in St. Paul. In 2019 she was a finalist for the MN Teacher of the Year. \n\nAs a founder of HORA and its current president\, Gina believes that what brings Romanians together is the ACASA (at home) feeling that we are all longing for. “I think geography is relative. Romania is in our hearts and in our minds and it’s in our power to bring it here with us. That is HORA’s role\, to invite everyone to experience the unique Romanian culture\, history\, and traditions right here in Minnesota.” \n\nDana Voller (HORA vice-president) came to Minnesota and the US in 2003. She has a French and English teaching degree from the University of Pitesti\, Romania and a Masters in ESL from Hamline University\, Minnesota. Her first job was with Peace Corps\, Romania\, and that is where she discovered her passion about sharing her cultural and linguistic heritage.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Harriet Scott
DESCRIPTION:Settler Colonialism Seen Through the Life of Harriet Scott\nwith Jane Henderson\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, February 10\, 2022\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library and the Roseville Library. \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nScholars of institutionalized racism have used the term “settler colonialism” to characterize the development of the United States — and many other countries. While this has been a useful concept leading to the asking — and answering — of productive questions\, it has often\, perhaps too often\, been deployed at a level of abstraction that seems remote from the ways that indigenous people\, white people\, immigrants\, and African Americans have lived their lives and interacted with each other. \nJane Henderson’s research engages the conversation around American slavery in the North within the framework of the expansion of the U.S. nation state through the frontier.  Fort Snelling\, the first white American settlement in the Minnesota territory\, was also the site of the first Black community in the state.  Henderson’s research draws on letters of prominent military officials\, merchants\, and others involved in “Indian business.”  She probes the letters and records of Lawrence Talliaferro\, an Indian agent for the Federal Government tasked with administering  annuity payments to Dakota and Ojibwe peoples\, in exchange for claims to their land.  Talliaferro was one of the largest slave owners in the Minnesota territory.  Henderson uses these sources to trace the life of Harriet Robinson\, who was owned by Talliaferro and held at Fort Snelling. In 1836/37\, she met and married Dred Scott\, who 20 years later would earn a place in history by suing for his freedom\, his case reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.  Henderson uses Harriet (and Dred) Scott’s lives not only as pathways into reconstructing the lives of enslaved women and men at Fort Snelling but also to illuminate the shifting political economy of the region from centering the fur trade toward an economy based on the commodification of land\, the commercialization of trade\, and the exploitation of labor\, both enslaved and free.  Her presentation\, while centered on the previously little told story of an individual enslaved woman\, will raise important questions about the relationships between U.S. militarism\, slave labor\, genocide\, and emancipation on the frontier. \nImage: Harriet Robinson Scott\, from Frank Leslie’s Illustrated\, New York\, June 17\, 1857. \n \nJane Henderson grew up in the Twin Cities before earning a BA in Ethnic Studies and Spanish at the University of San Diego. She is a PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at UC-Berkeley\, and she has returned to Minneapolis to research her dissertation on Black place-making in Minnesota. \nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day\, Making Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants. These programs focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. We expect these presentations to enrich and complicate our understanding of the development of the county and the state that we call home.

These arguments had swirled around the St. Paul School of Art (today the Minnesota Museum of Art\, or the “M”) since the Progressive Era (before World War I) and they continued through the Great Depression\, World War II\, and the Cold War years. \nMelissa’s focus on Jean Follett\, who has never received the attention her artistic work deserves\, provides a window into these arguments and their impact on the art world\, including the “applied arts\,” architecture\, engineering\, natural history (including the founding of the Science Museum)\, art museums\, and more\, from St. Paul to New York City. \nMelissa Rachleff is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Visual Arts Administration Program at NYU: Steinhardt\, where she concentrates on the nonprofit sector. In 2017 she curatedInventing Downtown: Artist-Run Galleries in New York City\, 1952-1965 for NYU Grey Art Gallery and wrote/edited the accompanying book\, which is co-published by the Grey and Prestel Publishing. Melissa began her career as the assistant curator at Exit Art and co-curated exhibitions on the intersection of visual art and documentation. She also worked on exhibits about under-examined artists at mid-career. As a program officer for the New York State Council on the Arts from 1999-2007\, Melissa was an advocate in supporting contemporary art projects done in collaboration with local communities. She has written about artist organizations for a variety of publications\, and her essay\, “Do It Yourself: A History of Alternatives” was published in Alternative Histories: New York Art Spaces (MIT Press) in 2012. For the fiftieth anniversary of 1968\, Melissa curated Narrative & Counternarrative: (Re)Defining the Sixties for NYU’s Bobst Library.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: St Paul

You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the Roseville Library and the East Side Freedom Library\n \n\nAuthor Bill Lindeke will share stories and research from his new book\, St. Paul: An Urban Biography\, a concise history of St. Paul\, featuring stories that are familiar\, surprising\, and sure to change the way you see Minnesota’s capital city. \nHow did the city of St. Paul come to be where and what it is\, and what does that show us about the city today? Bill Lindeke provides intriguing insights and helpful answers. He tells the stories of the Dakota village forced to move across the Mississippi by a treaty—and why whiskey sellers took over the site; the new community’s close ties to Fort Snelling and Winnipeg; the steamboats and railroads that created a booming city; the German immigrants who outnumbered the Irish but kept a low profile when the United States went to war; the laborers who built the domes over the state capitol and the Cathedral of St. Paul; the gangsters and bootleggers who found refuge in the city; the strong neighborhoods\, shaped by streets built on footpaths and wagon roads—until freeway construction changed so much; and the Hmong\, Mexican\, East African\, and Karen immigrants who continue to build the city’s strong traditions of small businesses. \nThis thoughtful investigation of place helps readers to understand the city’s hidden stories\, surrounding its residents in plain sight. \nBill Lindeke is an urban geographer and writer who focuses on how our environments shape our lives. He wrote MinnPost’s “Cityscapes” column from 2014 to 2017\, has written articles on local food and drink history for City Pages and the Growler\, and has taught urban geography at the University of Minnesota and Metro State University. He writes a local urban blog at Twin City Sidewalks and is a member of the Saint Paul Planning Commission. He is the author of Minneapolis–Saint Paul: Then and Now and the coauthor of Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

Twin Cities-based illustrator Jeanne Kosfeld and author Richard Kronick have together transformed a simple sketchbook featuring pen and ink drawings into a brief storytelling of the Irvine Park neighborhood’s unique 172-year history. Artists of all ages and abilities may colorize their own imagined versions of these historic edifices\, including fanciful Queen Anne-style homes\, simple clapboard houses\, and elaborate French Second Empire-style mansions\, while learning about the architecture and history of the area and its inhabitants at the same time. \nThis coloring book\, the first in a series of Saint Paul neighborhoods featuring local architecture and history\, is published by the Ramsey County Historical Society and celebrates the far-reaching results of the Irvine Park residents’ hard work and dedication. \nAbout the Illustrator: Artist Jeanne Kosfeld paints primarily with water-based media\, but her large body of work also includes print and board game design and public sculpture. She started her career as a newspaper illustrator and cartoonist. Along her creative path\, she led the design department at the University of Alaska\, where she was also an adjunct faculty member. In Minnesota\, she worked as the creative director at Ordway Center for the Performing Arts for eighteen years. Kosfeld has won several awards\, and her work resides in many public and private collections. She has been honored with artist-in-residences around the globe. \nAbout the Author: Richard Kronick has been a full-time freelance writer since 1985\, specializing in architecture and engineering. He is the co-author with Rick Harrison and Greg Yoko of a 2010 book on suburban planning titled Prefurbia: Reinventing the Suburbs from Disdainable to Sustainable. Kronick has written over one hundred articles and reviews on the built environment and has planned and led more than sixty architecture tours in the Twin Cities\, the Midwest\, and Italy. He is a member of the board of directors of the nonprofit Preserve Minneapolis (PM) and is editor-in-chief of PM’s MinneapolisHistorical.org\, a guide to the city’s architecture. He often lectures and teaches continuing education courses on the history of architecture and is an expert on the Prairie School architects Purcell & Elmslie. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: A Private Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:A Private Wilderness: The Journals of Sigurd F. Olson\nwith David Backes\n\n\n\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nAugust 19\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nDavid Backes will share the personal diaries of one of America’s best-loved naturalists\, revealing his difficult and inspiring path to finding his voice and becoming a writer. Written mostly during the years from 1930 to 1941\, Sigurd F. Olson’s journals describe the dreams and frustrations of an aspiring writer honing his skills\, pursuing recognition\, and facing doubt. Author of Olson’s definitive biography\, editor David Backes brings a deep knowledge of the writer to these journals\, providing critical context\, commentary\, and insights along the way.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFew writers are as renowned for their eloquence about the natural world\, its power and fragility\, as Sigurd F. Olson (1899–1982). Before he could give expression to The Singing Wilderness\, however\, he had to find his own voice. It is this struggle\, the painstaking and often simply painful process of becoming the writer and conservationist now familiar to us\, that Olson documented in the journal entries that Backes gathered. \nWritten mostly during the years from 1930 to 1941\, Olson’s journals describe the dreams and frustrations of an aspiring writer honing his skills\, pursuing recognition\, and facing doubt while following the academic career that allowed him to live and work even as it consumed so much of his time. But even as he speaks with immediacy and intensity about the conditions of his apprenticeship\, Olson can be seen developing the singular way of observing and depicting the natural world that would bring him fame—and also\, more significantly\, alert others to the urgent need to understand and protect that world. \nWhen Olson wrote\, in the spring of 1941\, “What I am afraid of now is that the world will blow up just as I am getting it organized to suit me\,” he could hardly have known how right he would prove to be. It is propitious that at our present moment\, when the world seems once more balanced on the precipice\, we have the words of Sigurd F. Olson to remind us of what matters—and of the hard work and the wonder that such a reckoning requires. \nSigurd F. Olson introduced generations of Americans to the importance of wilderness. He served as president of the Wilderness Society and the National Parks Association and as a consultant to the federal government on wilderness preservation. He earned many honors\, including the highest possible awards from the Sierra Club\, the National Wildlife Federation\, and the Izaak Walton League. The first of his many influential books was The Singing Wilderness (1956; reprint available from Minnesota). \n \nDavid Backes is author of A Wilderness Within: The Life of Sigurd F. Olson and editor of Olson’s The Meaning of Wilderness: Essential Articles and Speeches\, both from Minnesota. In 2015 he retired as professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/
