Sk/T""^^^ ^< VKC |t/? TO TPXE PUJBLIO. Every intelligent traveler, on visiting new jjlaees and objects of interest, desires to be put in possession of all the important information concerning them as soon as i^ossible; and however courteous and hospitable the people of a country may be toward strangers, most persons prefer to purchase such information rather than ob- tain it by a course of interrogatories. The importance which the city of Minneapolis and country surrounding is assuming, attracting annually many thousand visitors from all parts of the Union, has seemed to create the want which this little book is intended, and which it is hoped it may at least in a measure supply. That it may contribute to the innocent enjoyment of the pleasure seeker, the res- toration to health of the invalid, and the prosperity of those who shall invest their capital in developing this most favored section of the great Northwest is our sincere Mish.

The sudden transformation of western wilds to populous States, i^roductive farms, flourishing towns, and cities filled with wealth and the luxuries of civilization, through the energy, enterprise and untiring perseverence of the Ameri- can emigrant has ceased to be a wonder in the new world. To-day the red man roams sole possessor and occupant of the soil, and the buffalo and deer are the herds of his wild broad fields. To-morrow the smoke from a pioneer's cabin mingles with that from the wigwam, and his faithful ox is turned loose to graze with the untamed buflalo. Soon fields of grain wave in place of the tall prairie grass, herds of cattle feed securely in enclosed fields, and the In- dian and buffalo have fled from the white man's presence to other hunting grounds and pastures. A New England farmer, poor in purse, but rich in the possession of a stout heart which laughs at difficulties and allows no seeming obstacles to interfere with the accomplishment of his pur- poses, leaves the rocky hard- tilled fields of his eastern home to improve his fortunes in the promised land of the west. His independent and adventurous spirit is unsatis- fied till it takes him to the extreme limit of the white man's possessions ; and there, availing himself of the liberality of a most generous government, builds his cabin among the torest trees and lord of all he surveys, begins the life of the pioneer. His little boy who at first longs for the com- panionship of his old home and feels strangely lonesome as he wanders through his fathers wild, uncultivated 6 STKANGERS' GUIDE fields, meeting no comrade, seeing no familiar scene, look- ing in vain for the church spires of neighboring towns and listening for the cheerful music of their Sabbath bells, be- fore attaining his majority lives among pleasant friends and acquaintances, in or near a thriving village or city and sees his father's once almost valueless claim converted into a highly cultivated and valuable estate ; the little cabin torn down and in its place a neat and commodious dwelling surrounded by evidences of abundant means and refined tastes. The father who in his brightest an- ticipations did not perhaps look for more than a comfort- able support from his labors, while yet in the prime of life, as a recompense for his toil and early sacrifice, sees from his small beginning grow up an estate \vorth its thousands. The few hundred, his all, exchanged for a little tract of wild wood and prairie, the seed sown; the fruit, amj^le means for the respectable maintenance and education of his family and the wants of declining years. This is not a mere picture of funcj^ but faithfully repre- sents the experience of tens of thousands who have sought homes and fortunes in the Valley of the Mississippi and will continue for many years to come to be the experience of tens of thousands more, until all the fertile and habitable lands to the Pacific coast shall be filled up by our own in- creasing population moving westward and emigration from foreign countries. The history of the development of the great west reads more like the creations of the genii of "Ara- bian Nights," w^ho in a single night were able to raise uj) the most magnificent palaces in desert places than matters of fact which every one believes. But twenty-fiveyears ago the entire section of country now comprised in the State of Minnesota was comjmratively unknown- the home and hunting ground, of the Dacotahs and other Indian tribes, visited only by adventurous trap])ers and hunters on the part of the white man. Its 450,000 inhabitants, its hun- dreds of populous and thriving towns and cities, its 100,000 cultivated farms of to-day, had not a beginning then, and it may be jnesumed did not exist even in the imaginings of the most enthusiastic and visionary explorer of this countr3\ Where now stands Minneapolis was a Avild Y>n\i- rie opening, the red man's hunting and camping ground on their visits to their favorite resorts, among the Great Lakes. IX MINNEAPOLIS. The Falls of fet. Anthony, grand and beautiful now, but more so then we see the native sons of the forest sazino- upon with admiration and delight as they stand upSn th? banks of the "Great Water," testing their bows and arrows for the battle or chase. Having sketched in verse- we need hardly assure the reader Aiore for the purpose of condensation than display— the important events in the historv of its growth, we shall here dwell prmcipally upon its present status, industries and resourc'es ; its attractiveness as a home ; the advan- tages It offers to capitalists for profitable investment • the opportunities aiid means it affords the tourist for pleasure and the invalid for the restoration of health, and finallV upon its future prospects. ^ ^/i\^®.^i*>\^.^ /^"^neapolis, containing now a population ?i l-^.'^OO, chiefly Americans, extending three miles alonsr the right bank of the Mississippi, one mile and three quai- ters back to a range of bluffs, for healthfulness and beauty of location is the pride of the whole Northwest. Its un- dulating surface and pleasant slopes, leave no squares without some good building sites, many of which are of great beauty. Regularly laid out, its level broad ave- nues and streets, lined with fine residences, shaded by native forest trees and transplanted maples, elms and ever- green, and almost always in excellent condition— from the nature of the soil which quickly absorbs the largest rain tall— are most attractive for ride, drive or promenlde In consequence of the equal distribution of good building sites mentioned there are many costly residences in nearly ft?lL?ocfT''^T.*^^f'*^'^/'^^*^y^°^a^cing the value of hL«Ti ff'l'i- ^^«i^l^« "^ l>eautiful situation, Minneapolis has all the other requisites for making it a desirable home.

That so large a number after a brief trial decide to make it their permanent home is the best evidence which can be had ITa^I^ atmosphere possesses rare properties for the arrest n?P.in1T''"fV^ ^l\'^ ?^ 'M^^'^se. Next in importance to a ?w.^ r''''^ healthy location may be considered good so- ciety, leligious and educational advantages. In these re- con^n'jr/'''' 'Tf ""^ 'T/i^' confidence that Minneapolis will compare favorably with any city west of the Mississippi 8 strangers' guide We doubt whether there is one other containing in pro- portion to its whole population, so many intelligent, edu- cated and refined people. It is a pretty generally con- ceded fact that of our home emigration the class of men who move westward are of far more than average talent and enterprise. The east is a field too narrow and un- fruitful for their talents and energies to find full scope. Especiallj^ has Minneapolis received a large share of such emigration, Not onlj' has its health restoring and invig- orating climate induced many families of wealth to make it their home, but the great inducements it oflFers for profitable investment have attracted many men of con- siderable means who have done much to build it up and give character to its society. Its good society however is by no means confined to the more favored portion of our citizens as regards material wealth. The great manufac- turing industries at the falls and the raj^id growth of the city gives profitable employment to large numbers in the mechanical trades w^ho form a most respectable and well to do portion of the community. More than three-quar- ters of all the carpenters and masons of the place are own- ers of real estate and it is hardly less common for them to be landlords than tenants. Coming chiefly from the Eastern and Middle States, with just enough of puritanism to nutralize the influence of the somewhat too careless and natural habits of the West, the blending of these sectional characteristics and peculiari- ties forms a society with all the polish and refinement without the restraint and formality of the East. Liberal- ity, warmheartedness, openness and frankness of manner and hospitality to'svard strangers are marked characteristics of this people. They will measure your worth not from ex- ternal appearance or pretensions, but from evidences of real merit. A cultivated mind with good manners and a true heart will recommend you to tlie favorable considera- tion of the most select circles. With all the good features of our society mentioned, it is exempt in an unusual degree from those elements common to cities. The records of our justices' courts are good x^roof of this. They show a very small list of offences against the laWs or persons in iDrojwr- tion to the jDopulation and in comparison with other cities. Its religious advantages are of a high order.

It is evi- dent that nothing but an increasing population with a corresponding demand for building lots can produce this result. When cities become stationary as regards business and population their real estate does not generally become more valuable and often depreciates. That Minneapolis has but began her career of growth and prosperity is clear to our mind. She has three great sources of growth and wealth--agriculture, mauufactures and the lumber trade- either of which in the ordinary course of things would be sufficient to build up a large and populous city, and com- bined, can hardlv fail of that end. Naturally at the head of navigation on the Mississippi and the center and thoroughfare of most important rail- road lines, it must soon assume a greater commercial im- portance than anv other city of the Northwest. The completion of the Lake Superior and the Northern Pacific railroads, and the opening of communication and the com- mencement of transportation east to the sea coast by way of the Great Lakes must, as a natural consequence, make this the principal shipping point for the agricultural and manufacturing products of the whole country west and north for several hundred miles. Her wonderful facilities for the manufacture of lumber and flour will make it the o-reat lumber vard and granery of that whole region. \\ hen in connection with this we take into consideration the un- limited capacity of its water power ; whai has already been accomplished through its agency within the few years past, that the county west and north is but in its infancy, and will from this time forward, without doubt, develop with surprising rapidity, who is prepared to say that we are ex- travagant in predicting that Minneapolis will continue to flourish and augment its population and wealth until its name shall be to the country lying midway between the oceans as the names of New York and San Francisco are to their coasts. Viewed in this light capitalists may not only safely invest in real estate and manufacturing estab- liBhments here, but with the assurance of the most grati- fvino- results. The tourist finds here whether he seeka pleasure in beautfful natural scenery, in fishing boating, the hunt or chase, enjoyment of the rarest kind. The gran- IN MINNEAPOLIS. 11 deur and beauty of the Falls of St. Anthony and the charming Minnehaha, the great beauty and attractiveness of Lakes Calhoun, Cedar, Harriet, Minnetonka, and many others lying within twenty miles of the city, cannot iail to fill witli delight and admiration every one who shall view them. With jNIinneapolis as headquarters, no part of the west affords si^ortsmen, both in summer and winter, at such convenient distances, better hunting and fishing. As soon as the ice disappears from the lakes, generally by the 20th of April, they are so alive with wild geese and ducks that it is nothing uncommon for poor marksmen to shoot dozens of them in a few hours time, and this sport lasts until the cold of November drives this game to a warmer climate. IS^early all the lakes abound with bass, pickerel and perch, and Minetonka, Harriet, Calhoun, Ame- lia and Long Lake, of those near us, especially. The deer hunting of winter is perhaps the greatest field sport of this country. During the season for hunting this- splendid game, venison, is as common in our markets as veal, and after supplying a large home demand large quantities are shipped for the eastern market. They are sometimes seen within the city limits and evi Building, Hennepin Avenue, between Washington Avenue anU [Second Street. Cyrus Albrich, Postmaster. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF MAILS.

ELEVATION OF SEVERAL PLACES IN MINNESOTA ABOVE THE GTJLF OF MEXICO* Minneapolis, 7(i0feet; Crow Wing, 1,100 feet; St. Paul, G90 feet; Itasca Lake, 1,550 feet. TiEiE iF^^XiXiS oip ST. j\.i differed so widely respecting its depth and the character of its bottom, especially in the north part, that the S2 strangers' guide writer partially surv^eyed it with the following results. Commencing at a point on the north side, where the drowning of the Nichols family occurred, we sounded along that shore, thence south to the centre of the lake and from the centre to and along the east and west shores. At a distance of thirty-five feet from the north shore there is from eleven to fifteen feet of water. At forty feet, from twenty-five to thirty feet. From that point it gradually deepens to the centre of the lake, where there is seventy feet of water. Twenty feet from the east shore its depth is nine feet, two rods distant eighteen feet, eight rods distant, twenty-five feet, and increases in dejDth as from the north side to the centre. Deducting three feet from these last measurements will give the depth of water on the west side. It cannot therefore be recom- mended for bathing, except to expert swimmers. Its shores and bottom are sandy and rocky or pebly, excepting a few hundred yards on the northwest side, where they are marshy and soft. Pickerel, perch, rock bass and sunfish are caught here in large numbers. Ducks are quite nu- merous, and wild geese often light there. Boats may generally be obtained from the residents on the lake. LAKE HAREIET Is another gem among our lakes. Its wealth of fish and fowl, beautiful shores for ride or ramble, and excelLent bot- tom for bathing attract large numbers of visitors every season. It was formerly the favorite camping ground of the Sioux and Dakotahs. Chiefs "Good Road" and "Man of the Cloud," with their Sioux bands, remained in its vicinity long after the occupation of the country by white settlers. It is situated five miles southwest from the Sus- pension Bridge, is one mile in length and seven-eighths of a mile wide, with an outlet into Minnehaha River, which runs one half mile southeast. Pickerel, rock bass, perch, sun fish and cat fish are caught here in large numbers. During the months of March and April it is estimated that more than thirty tons are taken with the spear alone as they pass through the outl^ into Minnehaha. Their IX MINNEAPOLIS. 38 wholesale slaughter in such a manner is not only very offensive to the owners on the lake, but will be condemned by all true sportsmen. Water fowl are very numerous on the lake, and the woodland near its borders is frequented by deer in winter, and filled with other small game. Mrs. Thornton, who own a fine estate of 400 acres on the south shore, has for several years entertained visitors who spend the season for health or pleasure among the lakes. Her home is very jDleasantly situated, convenient and commo- dious. Excellent bathing grounds are near, and the use of boats and fishing tackle furnished free to all guests. Per- sons stopping in this locality in the season of small fruits will find at the nursery of Mr. Grimes, distant one and one half miles southw^est of Lake Harriet, all the varieties grown in the State^ in great perfection. RICE LAKE, An expansion of the Minnehaha, one and one half miles west of the Falls, and four and two-fifths miles southwest from the Suspension Bridge, though but one mile in diameter, with marshy shores and muddy bottom, is well known among sportsman in this region on ac- count of the large numbers of geese and ducks which congregate there. It is filled with wild rice and rushes, and hunters should provide themselves with good water dogs for bringing out the game which may fall among it. A muddy experiment by the writer of fording on horseback at its mouth the creek which leads from this lake to Lake Amelia may be taken as a caution not to attempt to cross it at that point with teams. TJierc is said to be a siife fording place near Lake Amelia. LAKE AMELIA, Situated one quarter of a mile south from Eice Lake, is one mile long and one half mile in width, with pobly and sandy bottom and shores, excepting a portion oil the west side. It is a great resort for ducks and geese and abounds with pickerel, bass and other lake fish. Its out- let is into the Minnehaha. 34 strangers' guide MOTHER LAKE, Lying one-third of a mile south of Lake Amelia, is worth a visit, especially by sportsmen. It is three-fourths of a niile in length anci five-eighths of a mile wide. DIAMOND LAKE, Three-fifths of a mile northwest of Mother Lake, is a beau- tiful clear body of water, with hard bottom and pebly shores — filled with fish and frequented by wild geese and ducks. LAKE MINNETONKA, EXCELSIOR AND WAYZATA. Minnetonka, one of the largest and most beautiful lakes of Minnesota, and on account of its great attractions for sportsmen, tourists and invalids, a great resort for these classes of our visitors, lies twelve miles southwest from Minneapolis, is fourteen miles in length and six miles in width, with more than one hundred miles of coast. Its shores are generally hard, water remarkably pure and clear and average depth about thirty feet. All the varie- ties of fish common to Minnesota waters are found here in great abundance and its numerous bays and arms swarm with water fowl of all kinds from spring to fall. The tim- bered lands in the vicinity are among the best grounds for deer hunting in this section of country. Wayzata, situated on its northeastern shore on the line of the St. Paul & Pa- cific Railroad will afford the visitor good hotel accommo- dation and furnish boats for sailing or fishing and all kinds of sporting material. At the residence of J. S. Harrington, on the west shore of the lake, three quar- ters of a mile from Wayzata, will be found the com- forts of home and convenient and excellent hunt- ing, fishing and boating. Two young men, guests of Mr. Harrington, caught with hooks before breakfast, (8 o'clock A. M.,) one hundred and ninety fish off* Spirit Point, op- posite his place. The pleasant village of Excelsior, con- taining about two hundred and fifty inhabitants, is situ- ated on the south shore of the lake, six miles from Wayzata by water and thirteen by land. The little steamer "Lady IN MINNEAPOLIS. 35 of the Lake" runs regularly between these places in con- nection with the trains. Excelsior and vicinity is the paradise of sportsmen and home of invalids. Mr. , . Pease has recently fitted up his residence here in a very complete manner for the accomodation of pleasure and health seekers. Very j^easantly situated on the shore of the lake, with excellent hunting, fishing, bathing and boating close at hand, we can recommend it to the patron- ao-e of the tourist and invalid with confidence. The fol- lowing are the most important bays, arms and islands of Minnetonka and their location. Bays— "Wayzata," northwestern part of the lake, south of the village of Wayzata; "Excelsior," southeastern part of the lake; "Cribble's," southwestern part of the lake ; "Gideon's," west of Excelsior; "Crystal," northwestern part of the lake. Akais, North and South— Situated as their names in- dicate. North Arm affords excellent hunting and fishing Islands.— "Wetatanka," in northeastern and "Nobles" in southwestern part of the lake. CHRISTMAS LAKE. A verv beautiful body of water, lying one-third of a mile southeast of Excelsior Bay, is filled with fish and covered with water fowl in their season. It is seven-eighths of a mile in length and six-eighths of a mile in width. Mr. Wombolt, an experienced hunter, lives on the northwest side of the lake. Sportsmen not acquainted in that section will do well to consult him. LONG LAKE, Situated three miles northwest of Minnetonka, and fifteen miles southwest from Minneapolis, is one and one half miles in length and five-eighths of a mile in width, and affords excellent fishing and duck hunting. The St. Paul and Pacific Railroad has a station on the south side and a village is springing up there. May & Company are quite extensively engaged in the manufacture of barrel staves, headings and hardwood lumber, and owners of real estate pleasantly situated for building purposes. 36 strangers' guide RICE LAKES Are situated in Anoka county, fourteen miles northeast from Minneapolis. Together they are several miles in ex- tent and their waters and the adjacent country afford most excellent fishing and hunting. Mr. Vanelsberg, who re- sides at the lakes, has killed in th%t locality, during the last twelve years about twelve hundred deer, and they are yet quite numerous. Visitors can obtain refreshments at his house and be furnished with boats and sporting ma- terial. SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR CAPITALISTS. The attention of capitalists is invited to tlie following statement, showing the increase in value of real property in the city of Minneapolis and vicinity during the past few years, and to the article of Mr. Patterson respecting the contemplated improvement at Meeker's Island. 1st. In the business portion of the city on Bridge square, Nicollet, HennepiR and Washington avenues, lots have increased in value from 100 to -251) per cent, since 1854. 2d. Land iu the suburbs of the city has increased in value since WA from S50 to S500 per acre. 3d. From 18(34 to 1S(37 the average increase in value of real estate in Minne- apolis was 100 per cent., and from 18jT to IS'iO, 75 per cent., which is a very low estimate. Lots situated on Fourth. Fifth and Sixth streets, between Itaska and Ames, are now worth from $1000 to $1500. The farming lands adjacent to the city are valued from $50 per acre upward, according to location. MINNEAPOLIS AS THE HEAD OP NAVIGATION ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER— MEEKER ISLA.ND DAM AND LOCK AND THE NEW CITY OF PAULAPOLIS. Only two miles below the Falls of St. Anthony is the Grand TerainI of 30,000 miles of steamboat navigation. Government wisely considering the vast agri- cultural resources of that portion of our country which is watered by the Mis- sissippi and its tributaries, has determined to improve the navigation of these rivers and appropriated L'OO.ODi) aci-es of its lands to construct a Dam and Lock at Meeker's Island, two miles below the Falls of St. Anthony, on a direct line intermediate between St. Anthony and St Piiul The State of Mionesota has granted a charter to a company of capitalists, comprising some of the w^ealthiest bankers and merchants of the State to erect the Dam an 1 Lock and have IX MINNEAPOLIS. 3/ awarded them the 200,000 acres of laud. It is well known to all owners of steamboats on the Mississippi that whenever they can run their boats to St. Paul they can also run to Meeker's Island, so that boats can lock up into the bay formed by the Dam and run to the mills at the Falls. At the new water power created by the Dam at Meeker's Island will be erected cotton and woolen mills, saw mills and mills for the manufacture of almost every article which the wants of the people demand. These mills will give employment to thousands of persons, and this new city of Panlapolls, expandino: on the one hand to meet ^linneapolis and St. Anthony and on the other to meet St. Paul, will eventually be the connecting link which shall join them together in one vast manufacturing and commercial city, whose population, wealth and enterprise will not be exceeded by any inland citv of the North American Continent. W. W. P. SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR INVALIDS. We are indebted to Dr. A. E. Johnson of St. Anthony for the following valuable article upon the adaptation of the climate of Minnesota to consump- tives. That persons suffering from derangement of the liver and digestive or- gans or from general debility are cured or materially benefitted by a residence in this climate there is also abundant proof TUBERCLES IN THE LUNGS. At the request of ttie author of this work we furnish the following sugges- tions in relation to the intluence of this climate upon consumptives. In the treatment of this disease the two important indications are— First, to support and invigorate as much as possible the powers of the constitution. Second, to guard against local irritation of the pulmfmarj^ organs and such influences of causes as produce general depression or debilitate the vital forces. So far as climate is concerned there is no location or section of coimtry that is exactly adapted in all seasons to all cases, conditions, complications and stages of the disease. But so far as medical history has extended in the various locations and sections of our country as well as that of foreign countries, if we except the climate of New Mexico and Southern California there is no location or region of country known to medical history, where the atmospheric conditions throughout the whole year are so favorably adapted to meet the above indica- tions, in the incipient or early stages of the disease as this location or region of country With one or two exceptions there is no location in the United States where there are so few cases of consumption in propor:ion to the popu lation annually originated as in Minnesota, and especially this location, as the following facts and figures will show' : Table Exhibitluq the Nnumher of Ccc^es of Consumption that annually Orici'mate . to every One Thousand Inhabitants m the various rerjions of the United States, West indies and Canada.

H^ : West Indies. 13. 38 strangers' guide This table is compiled from medical .iournals. United States census, and military reports of the various regions of the United States and Eugiand and from Charles and James Johnson's works on climates, and may be considered as correct. Twenty-three years ago when I entered the profession of medi- cine, it was a common practice in New York as in all the Eastern, ^Middle and Western States to direct the consumptive patient to seek a Southern climate for change Now the consumptive of New England and the Middle States and also of the Southern States, finds the climate of Minnesota much better adapted to his case for a summer residence than his own. And through- out the whole year the consumptive invalid of the New England and Middle States will find the climate ot Minnesota far more remedial than his own and equally as good if not more beneficial for the winter than a temporary resi- dence in Florida or Cuba. The English government is now in the habit of sending their consumptive patients from their military posts in the West Indies to Canada with decided benefit to them, and the whole medi- cal profession of the United States are beginning not to dread the influence of a dry cold climate iipon the disease. The climatic conditions of this location and region of country west to the mountains is remarkably adapted to the consumptive invalid from all regions of country south and east of here, w'hose case is yet in the early stages or is not so far advanced or complicated as to be hopeless. The first and most important at- mospherical condition for a consumptive is dryness. This important atmospherical condition exists here and westward to the mountains not equalled by any location or region of country east of the Mississippi river, as shown by the Heital Charts prepared by the Sursreon General of the United States army and the Smithsonian Institute Next in importance to dryness is an equitable temperature. An uniformally low temperature is much to be preferred to a uniformaliy high temperature The former exerts a tonic and stimuUtin^ efl'ect upon the general system, while the latter produces genera debility and nervous exhaustion. The worst possible climate for consumption is one with iong continued high temperatures and a high dew point. The air in this re- gion is extremely dry, and the changes of temperature somewhat sudden. But the depressing heat of a southern summer, with its moisture and malaria, are never felt. Though the winters are extremely cold, a stimulant and tonic effect is the only result of exposure in the open air It is of great importance that the climate of this region should be known, that the further injudicious course of sending consumptives to the hot, low moist coast of Florida and islands of tne Gulf of Mexico, where the atmosphere is loaded with malarial poison should be abandoned. In diseases of debility the remedies should be of a tonic character. What is more depressing and debilitating than pulmona- ry consumption, and what less tonic than moisture, heat and malaria combined astound in the climate of the Gulf coast? It is simply not cold, and presents no other advantage over our climate, but on the contrary all the other atmospheric conditions of the Gulf and throughout the t>outh are morbific in their ef- fects upon the consumptive invalid, while the atmospheric condition of our climate are remedial and prophylactic to the progress and development of pul- monary tubercles. If I was not extremely limited in space, I would have illus- trated the remedial influence of this c imate upon this d'sease in its various stages. I would have named cures from all sections of the country, the East- ern, Middle and Southern states Let the consumptive patient remember tnis; that the atmosphere in which he grows sick is the worst atmosphere for him.
