SUMMARY:History Revealed: Democracy in MN During WWI
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nDemocracy on Hold: Minnesota during the Great War\nGreg Gaut\nHistory Revealed Series\nNovember 11\, 2020\nWednesday\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister here on Zoom\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded.\nPlease note that registration emails will be shared to Ramsey County Historical Society and the East Side Freedom Library. If you do not wish to share your email\, contact events@rchs.com. \nWhen thousands of Minnesotans went to Europe to “make the world safe for democracy” in WW I\, the legislature created the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety to govern the state for the duration of the war.  Led by John McGee\, a conservative lawyer\, it crushed any form of dissent\, labor organizing\, or German cultural expression. McGee organized the Home Guard as the commission’s main enforcement arm.  Composed of volunteers primarily from the business community\, Home Guard units helped defeat a Twin Cities transit workers strike\, conducted mass arrests of young men to check draft status (“slacker raids”)\, and physically harassed the campaign of Charles Lindbergh\, Sr\, the Nonpartisan League’s candidate for governor in 1918. Minnesota’s home front experience reminds us how easily “America first” patriotism can evolve into a dangerous\, intolerant nationalism\, how fragile civil liberties and the rule of law are in periods of great polarization\, and how tempting it can be for politicians to stir up hostility toward immigrants. \nGreg Gaut is emeritus faculty at Saint Mary’s University in Winona\, where he taught European and Russian history.  Since 2012\, he has worked as a historic preservation consultant\, preparing National Register of Historic Places nominations for buildings across the state from Worthington to Ely.  With his wife Marsha Neff\, he has contributed several articles to Minnesota History\, two of which won the Minnesota Society of Architectural Historians award for the best article on Minnesota’s built environment. A lover of libraries\, he has published Laird’s Legacy: A History of the Winona Public Library and Reinventing the People’s Library\, a history of the Arlington Hills Public Library\, now the East Side Freedom Library.  He is working on a book about the Minnesota home front during World War I. \nFeatured image: Black and white photograph of World War I soldiers from the Rainbow Division marching in a parade in downtown Saint Paul\, through an arch erected to commemorate those killed during the war.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Suffrage at 100
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nSuffrage at 100: Women in American Politics since 1920\nStacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 1\, 2020\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUpfu-orT0vGt00wZt19hHO5Nd1u3cLld8K \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded. \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEditors & authors Stacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow will discuss their book\, Suffrage at 100\, which looks at women’s engagement in US electoral politics and government over the one hundred years since the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. \nIn the 2018 midterm elections\, 102 women were elected to the House and 14 to the Senate—a record for both bodies. And yet nearly a century after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment\, the notion of congressional gender parity by 2020—a stated goal of the National Women’s Political Caucus at the time of its founding in 1971—remains a distant ideal. In Suffrage at 100\, Stacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow brought together twenty-two scholars to take stock of women’s engagement in electoral politics over the past one hundred years. \nThis is the first wide-ranging collection to historically examine women’s full political engagement in and beyond electoral office since they gained a constitutional right to vote. The book explores why women’s access to\, and influence on\, political power remains frustratingly uneven\, particularly for women of color and queer women. Examining how women have acted collectively and individually\, both within and outside of electoral and governmental channels\, the book moves from the front lines of community organizing to the highest glass ceiling. \nEssays touch on: \n• labor and civil rights\n• education\n• environmentalism\n• enfranchisement and voter suppression\n• conservatism vs. liberalism\n• indigeneity and transnationalism\n• LGBTQ and personal politics\n• Pan-Asian\, Chicana\, and black feminisms\n• commemoration and public history\n• and much more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStacie Taranto is an associate professor of history at Ramapo College of New Jersey. She is the author of Kitchen Table Politics: Conservative Women and Family Values in New York.\nLeandra Zarnow is an assistant professor of history and affiliated faculty in the Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies Program at the University of Houston. She is the author of Battling Bella: The Protest Politics of Bella Abzug.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Sterling Club
DESCRIPTION:101 Years of The Sterling Club: A Window into the Black Experience in Minnesota\nJeremiah Ellis\nWith special guest Former Sterling Club President Levi Brady\n\nThursday\, September 24\, 2020\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the Roseville Library\nLive Zoom Presentation – presentation will be recorded\n \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0lc-yurT8uGNOTDIQM34UZ1cADwOpzglyy \n\nAfter registering\, participants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n\nHistorian and author Jeremiah E. Ellis will present the history and the stories behind the Sterling Club\, and African-American club in Saint Paul that recently celebrated its 100th Anniversary. The Sterling Club emerged from injustices toward Black men in Ramsey County. In 2020\, renewed calls for racial justice have been catalyzed by the experiences of Black men in Minnesota. Similar patterns of racial discrimination along the Club’s century ring true today. This conversation looks at the hundred years of Club history including first hand accounts of members and rarely seen pictures from the local African American community. Jeremiah Ellis will share about the Club history\, more recent activities and connect the history to experiences of being a Black man in Minnesota. Jeremiah Ellis will be joined by Sterling Club’s Former President\, Levi Brady. \n\nIn 1919\, a group of mostly mid-career gentlemen from St. Paul’s African American community incorporated a social club of their own. The Sterling Club welcomed visiting dignitaries\, gathered for formal balls\, and celebrated individual and collective accomplishments – and they also mobilized against discrimination and created community cohesion. The men\, and women\, of the Sterling Club worked alongside civic leaders to highlight and address racist practices\, helped heal a community torn apart by the construction of the interstate\, served as a haven from discrimination\, and mentored young people within the community. Over the decades\, many of St. Paul’s social clubs have come and gone\, but the Sterling Club continues to stand strong. \n\nJeremiah Ellis’s great grandparents owned The Booker T. Restaurant on Rondo Avenue before its destruction for Interstate 94. Jeremiah is Secretary of the Board for the African American Interpretive Center of Minnesota which is dedicated to sharing black Minnesota history through exhibitions and events. Jeremiah’s research into Saint Paul’s historic Black community\, titled St. Paul’s Distinct Leadership Tradition: A Century of The Sterling Club\, was published by the Ramsey County Historical Society in Ramsey County History magazine last year. Jeremiah parents his elementary age son in Saint Paul with his wife. \n\nFeatured image: The Sterling Club’s original Clubhouse\, begun in 1924 at 315 North Dale Street\, was designed by Sterling Club member\, Clarence W. Wigington. Photo by Arthur H.P. Rhodes\, courtesy of the Sterling Club archives.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Closing Time 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nBill Lindeke & Andy Sturdevant\, Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nSeptember 17\, 2020\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocOipqDoiGdGdnOHk121NVwVcEePd5L-p\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded. \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nAn entertaining journey into the highs\, lows\, bright spots\, and dark corners of the Twin Cities’ most famous and infamous drinking establishments—history viewed from the barstool. \nIn 1838\, a rum trader named “Pig’s Eye” Parrant built a small shack in a Mississippi bluff that became the first business in the city of St. Paul: a saloon. Since then\, bars\, taverns\, saloons\, and speakeasies have been part of the cultural\, social\, and physical landscape of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Serving as neighborhood landmarks\, sites of political engagement\, welcoming centers for immigrants\, hotbeds of criminal activity\, targets of ire from church and state alike\, and\, of course\, a place to get a drink\, the story of the taverns and saloons of the Twin Cities is the story of the cities themselves. \nIn Closing Time\, Bill Lindeke and Andy Sturdevant dive into tales from famous and infamous drinking establishments from throughout Twin Cities history. Readers are led on a multigenerational pub crawl through speakeasies\, tied houses\, rathskellers\, cocktail lounges\, gin mills\, fern bars\, social clubs\, singles bars\, gastropubs\, and dives. Featuring beloved bars like Matt’s\, Palmer’s\, the Payne Reliever\, and Moby Dick’s\, the book also resurrects memories of long-forgotten establishments cherished in their day. Lindeke and Sturdevant highlight neighborhood dives\, downtown nightspots\, and out-of-the-way hideaways\, many of which continue to thrive today. Closing Time brings together stories of these spaces and the people who frequented them. \nBooks will be available for purchase at Subtext Books. \nBill Lindeke\, Ph.D.\, 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. \nAndy Sturdevant is an artist and writer living in Minneapolis. He has written about art\, history\, and culture for a variety of publications\, including City Pages\, Belt\, and Mpls.St.Paul. He currently writes a regular column for Architecture MN\, and for five years\, Andy wrote “The Stroll\,” a weekly column on Twin Cities neighborhoods\, art\, history\, and architecture in for MinnPost.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Connemara Irish
DESCRIPTION:Connemara Irish: Despair in the Heartland\nJane Kennedy\nPremeire\, Thursday\, August 27\, 2020\, 7:00 PM\nPre-recorded\, will premiere on:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RamseyCountyHistoricalSociety/\nYoutube: https://youtu.be/jC1EBfN-s5M \nIn partnership with the Roseville Library \nWhen people living in the Connemara region of Western Ireland were offered assistance to escape from the ravages of famine and disease\, they knew little about their new homeland but believed they would find hope and happiness in America. Frail and hungry\, they traveled over 3\,700 miles to reach their destination\, a prairie that scarcely resembled their homeland. While trying to settle and begin earning a living\, within months they would encounter one of the worst Minnesota winters ever recorded. The Connemaras’ story\, similar to that of many other immigrants\, is one of despair\, struggle and ultimately perseverance. \nJane Kennedy lives in St. Paul\, MN. Her interest in exploring Irish famines is linked to her family’s emigration in the 1880s from County Mayo\, Ireland. She has a B.A. in English and Journalism from St. Catherine University and an M.A. in Business Communications from the University of St. Thomas. Kennedy obtained Irish citizenship in 2016 (dual citizenship) following two visits to her grandfather’s homeland in the Belmullet Peninsula\, Co. Mayo. \nImage: From “An Extra Supplement to the Illustrated London News\,” March 20\, 1880. The State of Ireland-Evicted: A Sketch on the Road in Connemara. By Our Special Artist.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Black Women's Struggle for the Right to Vote
DESCRIPTION:Black Women’s Struggle for the Right to Vote\nA Conversation with Dr. Martha S. Jones\nWednesday\, August 12\, 2020\, 7:00 PM\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\nOnline event – Facebook & Youtube:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1586684121516628/ \nTo pre-order the book (out in September) from our partner\, Subtext Books\, see https://subtextbooks.com/books/pre-order-vanguard-by-martha-jones \nAmidst all the turmoil of 2020\, it has been easy to forget that this year marks the centennial of the Women’s Suffrage amendment. It has unfortunately also been easy to take the given narrative for all there is to know. In her new book\, Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers\, Won the Vote\, and Insisted on Equality for All\, Martha Jones challenges the standard story that the suffrage crusade began in Seneca Falls in 1848 and ended with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. She details how African American women defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot\, and how they wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all people. \nVanguard rests on careful scholarship\, but is written with a wide readership in mind.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Exploring the Historical Roots of Racism in Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed: Exploring the Historical Roots of Racism in Minnesota\nA conversation with Bill Green\, Christopher Lehman\, and Marty Case\nModerated by Peter Rachleff\n \nThursday\, July 9\, 2020\, 7:00 pm\nFacebook Event \nPremiere on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EastSideFreedomLibrary/videos/904936243330741/)\, YouTube (https://youtu.be/OK64iOMWcQg). \nIn the past year\, local historians have published three eye-opening books\, each of which\, grounded in careful research\, explore the roles played by racism in the development of Minnesota. Marty Case’s The Relentless Business of Treaties explores how the U.S.\, territorial\, and state governments\, and their leaders\, stole land from the indigenous people who had lived here for centuries. Chris Lehman’s Slavery’s Reach reveals the power and influence exerted by wealthy southern slaveholders in the early years of the “North Star State\,” and the cooperation extended to them by the state’s founders. Bill Green’s Children of Lincoln tracks the journeys away from abolition and racial equality trod by the new state’s leaders in the immediate post-Civil War years. \nThese three historians undertook their research and wrote their books independently of each other. Each of them has spoken about his book at ESFL. Now\, we are able to bring them together for a conversation about the connections and implications of their conclusions. Given the heightened concern over racism being expressed in our communities\, this is a timely conversation for them—and for us—to have. Please join us. \nClick “Going” and share on Facebook!

SUMMARY:History Revealed: When the Stones Came to Town
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nFred Case\, with Eric Dregni\, When the Stones Came to Town: Rock ‘n’ Roll Photos from the 1970s\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, February 13\, 2020\n7:45 pm\nWaldmann’s Brewery & Restaurant\nReservations requested: Reservation Form. 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. \nStunning images of some of the greatest musicians from rock ’n’ roll history\, including both onstage action and behind-the-scenes candids. \nPhotographer Fred Case was on the scene in the Twin Cities during the 1970s whenever the top rock and blues musicians came through town. With his camera in hand\, Case photographed such legends as Chuck Berry\, Bo Diddley\, John Mayall\, Leon Russell\, Richie Havens\, the Who\, Steppenwolf\, the Grateful Dead\, Small Faces\, Elton John\, Linda Ronstadt\, Captain Beefheart\, Alice Cooper\, Elvis Costello\, Miles Davis\, and the Rolling Stones. His images capture the stars in action onstage at storied Minneapolis venues ranging from the Guthrie to the Depot (First Avenue)\, the Labor Temple to Jay’s Longhorn\, the Minneapolis Auditorium to Parade Stadium. The photographer also hung out with many of the musicians and took behind-the-scenes snapshots of backstage antics. Case’s own wild adventures chasing his music heroes\, beginning in his teenage years\, led to many fascinating—and some questionable—experiences. \nIn When the Stones Came to Town\, Case recollects witnessing\, photographing\, and occasionally getting to know these music icons and gives readers an up-close-and-personal look at the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. These photos\, many of them never seen before in print\, highlight the vibrant music scene of the Twin Cities during this pivotal era. \nFred Case is a longtime photographer who has shot hundreds of musicians\, traveled the world\, and rubbed elbows with the great and near-great.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Transpacific Antiracism
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nYuichiro Onishi\, Transpacific Antiracism\, Afro-Asian Solidarity in 20th-Century Black America\, Japan\, and Okinawa\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, February 6\, 2020\n7:00 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. \nTranspacific Antiracism introduces the dynamic process out of which social movements in Black America\, Japan\, and Okinawa formed Afro-Asian solidarities against the practice of white supremacy in the twentieth century. Yuichiro Onishi argues that in the context of forging Afro-Asian solidarities\, race emerged as a political category of struggle with a distinct moral quality and vitality. \nThis book explores the work of Black intellectual-activists of the first half of the twentieth century\, including Hubert Harrison and W. E. B. Du Bois\, that took a pro-Japan stance to articulate the connection between local and global dimensions of antiracism. Turning to two places rarely seen as a part of the Black experience\, Japan and Okinawa\, the book also presents the accounts of a group of Japanese scholars shaping the Black studies movement in post-surrender Japan and multiracial coalition-building in U.S.-occupied Okinawa during the height of the Vietnam War which brought together local activists\, peace activists\, and antiracist and antiwar GIs. Together these cases of Afro-Asian solidarity make known political discourses and projects that reworked the concept of race to become a wellspring of aspiration for a new society. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase and signing during the presentation. \nYuichiro Onishi is Assistant Professor of African American & African Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Nicholas R. Brewer
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nJulie L’Enfant\, The Celebrity Portraits of Nicholas R. Brewer\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, January 23\, 2020\n7:00 pm\nRoseville 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. \nNicholas R. Brewer (1857-1949) is a Minnesota artist best known today for his landscapes\, but in his own lifetime his wide reputation rested mainly on his portraits. He painted many prominent Minnesotans. His circuit exhibitions in the 1920s and 1930s also featured portraits of some of the most famous men and women of his day.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Moving Up\, Moving Out
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nDr. Will Cooley\, Moving Up\, Moving Out: The Rise of the Black Middle Class in Chicago\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, January 9\, 2020\n7:00 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. \nIn Moving Up\, Moving Out\, Will Cooley discusses the damage racism and discrimination have exacted on black Chicagoans in the twentieth century\, while accentuating the resilience of upwardly-mobile African Americans. Cooley examines how class differences created fissures in the black community and produced quandaries for black Chicagoans interested in racial welfare. While black Chicagoans engaged in collective struggles\, they also used individualistic means to secure the American Dream. Black Chicagoans demonstrated their talent and ambitions\, but they entered through the narrow gate\, and whites denied them equal opportunities in the educational institutions\, workplaces\, and neighborhoods that produced the middle class. African Americans resisted these restrictions at nearly every turn by moving up into better careers and moving out into higher-quality neighborhoods\, but their continued marginalization helped create a deeply dysfunctional city. African Americans settled in Chicago for decades\, inspired by the gains their forerunners were making in the city. Though faith in Chicago as a land of promise wavered\, the progress of the black middle class kept the city from completely falling apart. In this important study\, Cooley shows how Chicago\, in all of its glory and faults\, was held together by black dreams of advancement. Moving Up\, Moving Out will appeal to urban historians and sociologists\, scholars of African American studies\, and general readers interested in Chicago and urban history. \nWill Cooley is professor of history at Walsh University in North Canton\, Ohio. \n2020 History Revealed Programs\n\nSee the History Revealed 2020 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: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: Closing Time
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nBill Lindeke & Andy Sturdevant\, Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nDecember 12\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:45 pm\nWaldmann Brewery & Wurstery\nReservations requested\, space is limited.

Since then\, bars\, taverns\, saloons\, and speakeasies have been part of the cultural\, social\, and physical landscape of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Serving as neighborhood landmarks\, sites of political engagement\, welcoming centers for immigrants\, hotbeds of criminal activity\, targets of ire from church and state alike\, and\, of course\, a place to get a drink\, the story of the taverns and saloons of the Twin Cities is the story of the cities themselves. \nIn Closing Time\, Bill Lindeke and Andy Sturdevant dive into tales from famous and infamous drinking establishments from throughout Twin Cities history. Readers are led on a multigenerational pub crawl through speakeasies\, tied houses\, rathskellers\, cocktail lounges\, gin mills\, fern bars\, social clubs\, singles bars\, gastropubs\, and dives. Featuring beloved bars like Matt’s\, Palmer’s\, the Payne Reliever\, and Moby Dick’s\, the book also resurrects memories of long-forgotten establishments cherished in their day. Lindeke and Sturdevant highlight neighborhood dives\, downtown nightspots\, and out-of-the-way hideaways\, many of which continue to thrive today. Closing Time brings together stories of these spaces and the people who frequented them. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \nBill Lindeke\, Ph.D.\, 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.

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: Streetcars-CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED: John Diers\, 1\,100 Streetcars: The Rise and Fall of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company\nWe apologize\, but the Thursday\, Oct. 24 program at the Roseville Library has been cancelled.\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 24\, 2019\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nRamsey County Roseville Library\nFree and open to all. \nJoin RCHS for History Revealed in 2018\, featuring the best of local history authors\, historians and archaeologists talking about a wide range of topics drawn from the heritage and traditions of Ramsey County. \nIn 1920 for a nickel fare the 1\,100 streetcars of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company carried 238 million riders on a 500-mile system that stretched from Lake Minnetonka to the St. Croix River. With over 4\,000 workers it was among the largest employers in the Twin Cities; turning a profit for its shareholders\, and regarded as among the finest street railway systems in the transit industry. Thirty-four years later it surrendered to the automobile. Its streetcars were gone\, replaced by buses—its assets looted by an unscrupulous management. From streetcars to freeways this is the story of the decline and fall of the late\, great Twin City Rapid Transit Company. \n \nJohn Diers is a writer-historian and the author of two books; Twin Cities by Trolley and St. Paul Union Depot (University of Minnesota Press) and articles on transit and transportation subjects in a number of historical and transportation journals\, among them Ramsey County History. He was with the Metropolitan Transit Commission in the Twin Cities and general manager of transit systems in Wisconsin and New York. \nThank you to the Ramsey County Roseville Library for their support of this program. \nFor more information and a list of upcoming 2019 History Revealed programs\, see the 2019 History Revealed page. \nArticle by John Diers\, The Force That Shaped the Neighborhoods: 1890–1953: Sixty-three Years of Streetcars in St. Paul and Millions of Dollars in Investments.

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!
