Summary "Minnesota, the North Star State" by "William Watts Folwell" is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive examination of Minnesota’s history, tracing its development from the French period through statehood and beyond. Folwell presents a rich tapestry of exploration, settlement, and the political intricacies of the region, making it particularly valuable for those interested in the foundational narrative of Minnesota. The opening of the work introduces the Dakota name "Minnesota," explaining its meaning and significance within the context of U.S. territorial history. Folwell sets the stage for discussing Minnesota's early inhabitants and the transition from French dominion to British and eventually American control. He highlights the arrival of key figures in the exploration of the state, detailing their attempts to chart the land and engage with its Native American tribes. This section offers a glimpse into the interactions between European settlers and Indigenous peoples, laying the groundwork for the detailed exploration of Minnesota’s complex history that follows.
