Just Announced! Join GCHS and Fred Johnson in celebrating his new release, Making History In Minnesota: Red Wing and its People Impact the State! All are invited to a Book Talk at 2:00 PM, followed by a book signing at 3:00 PM. Books will be available to purchase in the museum gift shop.
Book Synopsis:
For more than two-hundred years, a community known as Red Wing has nestled beneath the monolithic Mississippi River landmark He Mni Can (La Grange, Barn Bluff). From the dominion of the Dakota, the French interlude, and the onset of United States control, there has been a village, town, or city on this remarkably beautiful parcel of land.
This is a book about Red Wing and the impact this community and its citizens have had in “Mni Sota Makoce” (land where the waters reflect the skies), and during territorial days and statehood. Using themes of historical importance and interest, the narrative employs a series of documented mini histories.
About the Author:
Frederick Johnson continues his efforts to illuminate the history of his native Red Wing through numerous books and magazine articles. He is a three-time winner of the American Association for State and Local History award; the most recent honor being for the highly praised Patriot Hearts: World War I Passion and Prejudice in a Minnesota County. His newest effort, Making History in Minnesota: Red Wing and Its People Impact the State, Volume 1, is out now!
