About this book
The book is headed Three Score Years and Ten, Life-Long Memories of Fort Snelling, Minnesota, and other parts of the West. A note addressed to Mrs. Van Cleve says that whenever there is growth in any community the desire arises to know something of what was in the beginning.
A passage records that, scarcely an hour after her arrival, Mrs. Clark’s second child was born, and named Charlotte, for her mother, to which was added by the officers Ouisconsin. A passage selects a few names of those with whom a family was intimately associated, among them Major David Gwynne, a former Paymaster in the army, and Judge Burnett, a near and highly-esteemed neighbor. A passage tells of the beautiful Edith, searching the field after the bloody battle of Hastings, who found the body of her beloved, the last of the Saxon Kings. A speaker says, "So on my heart, among my precious things, stands Minneapolis, and just beneath it St. Paul."
