The Early Background of Minnetonka Beach
Bergmann Richards
1957
A focused history of Minnetonka Beach published by the Hennepin County Historical Society. Richards' archival approach provides a documented account of one of the lake's distinctive communities.
A useful example of what careful local research can add to a small place. It complements books that move quickly across the lake by giving Minnetonka Beach more individual attention.
