When and What: Taken obviously before Sept 1901, the card is from After 1901, but exactly when I am not sure. At His 'Hermitage', this is Civil War Major George Blight Halsted who lived a reclusive hermits life style, but was a well known person of his time. Halsted's (Halstead) Bay on Minnetonka is named after him. He died on September 6th 1901 when the Hermitage was destroyed by fire. |

Picturing Lake Minnetonka
A Post Card History by James W. Ogland and published by the
Minnesota Historical Society. Graphics of far greater quality and variety
than anything you'll find on the net, unless of course you visit the Minnesota
Historical Society. The book is filled with fascinating historical information
about the Lake Minnetonka area. A great gift for anyone who lives near the
"Great Waters" or once did. It is also a great way to support your
historical society and works of local historical importance. I know this sounds like an advertisement but I'm not affiliated in any way to anyone involved with "Picturing Lake Minnetonka". I love history, and believe it's important. If you like what I have on this site you'll probably want this book. |
