[Blake · Rating 4 out of 5]

The inexplicably out-of-print godfather of Minnesota history absolutely lives up to his reputation, but be prepared for dozen-page-long quotes from other works (which actually rules in the case of sources currently unavailable to me, like Beltrami's letters), only a loose adherence to the chronological order of events (he goes more by topic or subnarrative than anything else), and favorites being played along with some central figures oddly being ignored (which is par for the course for any history written in this era).
