Picturing Lake Minnetonka: A Postcard History
James W. Ogland
2001
Vintage postcards and the photographers behind them provide a view of Lake Minnetonka's resort years. The book follows hotels, streetcar boats and the transportation connections that brought vacationers to the lake.
Postcards show both a place and the image it wanted visitors to remember. Here they offer a particularly appealing way to see the lake's earlier summer life.
