The History of Big Island, Lake Minnetonka
Paul Maravelas
2023
A substantial study of Big Island and the surrounding lake, bringing natural history, the landscape, Dakota history and later island life into one volume. Maps, photographs, memoirs and illustrations accompany a documented account with footnotes, a bibliography and an index.
Big Island deserves more than its amusement-park chapter. This book offers the room and research to follow the island through a much longer story.
