Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Dakota Land, or the Beauty of St. Paul: An Original, Illustrated, Historic and Romantic Work on Minnesota and the Great North-West My first visit to Minnesota was not until the latter part of September, -; and then it so happened that I could tarry but twenty-four hours in the vicinity of St. Paul. With the popular disbelief of all strangers to that region, I anticipated the real existence of no very great attractions there, and accordingly had made arrangements for returning to New York the first week in October. However, I saw and felt enough during the speedy lapse of that one day, to convince me of my error. And although I could not then prolong my stay, there was much comfort in hopefully promising myself the pleasure of a more extended visit some other time. But the next day after my departure down the river, on board a white collar steamer, and while dreamily gazing upon the lovely scenery of Lake Pepin, and musing upon the marvelous enchantment of the Great North-west, I was suddenly inspired with the idea of publishing a Dioristic and Statistical History of the bright, new city which I had so recently seen. And that inspiration eventually terminated in a fixed resolve. For even though a stranger there, I could not fail to perceive how greatly such a book was needed, and also the prospective surety that the publisher thereof would be well compensated by its ready sale. The result was that I hastened back to St. Paul early in November. And on arriving there, the editors of the Daily Pioneer and the Daily Press kindly encouraged me by complimentarily noticing my intention. But very soon afterward, they also noticed the similar individual purposes of several native brothers of the scissors and the quill, whom my coming effectively roused to a full sense of the golden opportunity which I had in view.
