When and What:  1865 First: A civil war era photograph of what appears to be Spirit Knob on the lower lake of Minnetonka near Woodland. I was told that much of it was washed away by the large steamers of the 1880's. (?)

Just 8 years earlier this is how the towns of Minneapolis and St. Anthony appeared. Minnetonka is a full days trek into the woods from here.

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.
