Аннотация:

The Minnesota Book of Days is a entertaining and educational day-by-day account of Minnesota history, chronicling important events, famous firsts, notable individuals, and interesting incidents.<br /><br />Tony Greiner&#39;s thorough research and keen sense of the offbeat combine to produce a book that is both serious history and unexpected fun, a perfect gift and a handy compendium. Did you know that the mercury sank below freezing on the Fourth of July in 1859? Or that on August 18, 1929, a 350-pound bear wandered into the lounge of the Hotel Duluth? Or that on October 8, 1956, the world&#39;s first fully enclosed shopping mall, Southdale Shopping Center, opened in Edina?<br /><br />This handy guide explores famous and not-so-famous aspects of Minnesota&#39;s history in lively entries for each day of the year. Whether you&#39;re a visitor or a lifelong resident, these tidbits about noteworthy events and people just might inspire you to explore Minnesota history in greater depth.
