Stearns County Minnesota
(Images of America) |
| Stearns County is situated just
south of the geographic center of Minnesota, on the west
side of the mighty Mississippi River. Established in 1855, a
region virtually untouched by the white man, it could claim
all the trappings of "civilization" in less than a
generation. Drawing from over 180 photographs and postcards
from both private and public collections, Lee Simpson
explores the rise of European civilization in the county
from the 1870s to the present. This book offers a unique
glimpse into the people and places of Stearns County and is
a visual history of daily life in the county that emphasizes
the experiences of the average citizen. Included are vintage
photographs of St. Cloud, Fair Haven, Albany, Paynesville,
Collegeville, Waite Park, Rockville, and St. Joseph that
depict the growth of the downtown business districts,
resorts, granite quarries, schools, and churches which
provided the bedrock of community for each town or city.
From its founding as an almost exclusive community of German
Catholics to its present as a region struggling with issues
of diversity, the history of Stearns County offers all of us
a glimpse of the American experience. |
