Forest, Fields, and the Falls: Connecting Minne sota < http://discovery.mnhs.org/connectingmn/ >. Steve Boyd-Smith, Minnesota Historical Society, curator and project manager; Invioni: Web Strategy & Design. Visited June 29–July 10, 2003.

At the turn of the last century, the products of Minnesota's expansive lumber industry and farm economy converged at the sawmills and flour mills of St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis. The exhibit Forest, Fields, and the Falls follows the paths of "four real people" whose memoirs and letters connect these far-flung activities. We follow Joseph DeLaittre from Minneapolis to the lumber camp. Melvin Frank picks up the story in the Minneapolis sawmilling district. Mary Carpenter wrote letters of farm life, its hazards and isolation, on the prairie. The flour mill story is by E. V. Smalley, who reported on the people and industries of Minneapolis. These stories knit together Minnesota history in an exhibit that engages families, students, and the general public.
