149 much of the story on which this book is based can be found in general histories and collections. Some of these include: Anne J. Aby, ed., The North Star State: A Minnesota History Reader (2002); Rhoda R. Gilman, The Story of Minnesota ’s Past (1989); Stephen E. Graubard, ed., Minnesota, Real and Imagined (2000); Steven J. Keillor, Shaping Minnesota’s Identity (2008); William E. Lass, Minnesota: A History (2nd edition, 1998); Daniel J. Elazar, Virginia Gray, and Wyman Spano, Minnesota Politics and Government (1999). An indispensable source for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is William W. Folwell’s A History of Minnesota. Although published in the 1920s and reflecting the attitudes and perspectives of an earlier time, Folwell’s work remains a remarkably objective, scholarly, and readable account of the years 1849–1920, through which the author himself lived and played an active role. For the twentieth century an especially valuable source is Clifford E. Clark Jr., ed., Minnesota in a Century of Change: The State and Its People Since 1900 (1989).
