History of Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis
George E. Warner and Charles M. Foote, compilers; includes work by Edward D. Neill
1881
A nineteenth-century county history with material on the communities and people around Lake Minnetonka. Its descriptions preserve early place names and ownership references that can be compared with later histories and maps.
A research reference rather than a modern guide to the lake. Its proximity to the period is valuable, while its language and perspectives reflect the era in which it was produced.
