"David A. Lanegran and Ernest R. Sandeen give us the history of Minneapolis's lake district, which includes Lowry Hill, Kenwood, Lake of the Isles, and East Calhoun, from Native American villages and pioneering missionaries, through the era of the grand resort and the coming of the streetcars, to the park board's remaking of the lakes and the landscape in 1911. With many photographs and illustrations, the book concludes with historical neighborhood walking tours."--BOOK JACKET.
