MN Historical Society: 150 Best Minnesota Books

As part of their celebration of the state’s sesquicentennial, the librarians at the Minnesota Historical Society are blogging about their selection of the greatest 150 Minnesota books. “All works chosen as the 150 Best Minnesota Books will have been published in some recognizable form, and will either be about some aspect of the state or will have been written by a Minnesota author. We define Minnesota authors the same way we do for inclusion into the MHS library collections: the author will either have been born in Minnesota or will have spent enough time here to have been influenced by the culture or to have influenced the culture.”
Check it out and applaud or argue with their selections!
