LibriVox recording of The History of Minnesota and Tales of the Frontier, Part 2 by Charles E. Flandrau. Read in English by deongines; Ross Klatte; Siyami Aktan; Jill Engle; Crystal Gattis; Andrea Kotzer; Kalynda; BettyB; Larry Wilson. A series of stories written by Judge Charles E. Flandrau "at different times during his long residence in the Northwest, which embrace historical events, personal adventures, and amusing incidents." This book of tales is the companion to the author's book on the history of the founding of the state of Minnesota, and together they make up the volume The History of Minnesota and Tales of the Frontier. In this part, Judge Flandrau describes the adventures and perils faced by early Minnesotans, and also gives his often-humorous observations about living in parts further west during the settlement of the frontier in the middle part of the 19th century.
