The Big Water: Lake Minnetonka and Its Place in Minnesota History
Frederick L. Johnson
2012
A broad history that places Lake Minnetonka within Minnesota's larger story. Published by Deep Haven Books, Johnson's work offers a researched framework for understanding the lake beyond an individual town, family or shoreline.
A useful companion to the more intimate local histories. It helps connect the lake's separate stories rather than treating each bay as a world of its own.
