Renowned historian Annette Atkins presents a fresh understanding of how a complex and modern Minnesota came into being in Creating Minnesota. Each chapter of this innovative state history focuses on a telling detail, a revealing incident, or a meaningful issue that illuminates a larger event, social trends, or politics during a period in our past. A three-act play about Minnesota's statehood vividly depicts the competing interests of Natives, traders, and politicians who lived in the same territory but moved in different worlds. Oranges are the focal point of a chapter about railroads and transportation: how did a St. Paul family manage to celebrate their 1898 Christmas with fruit that grew no closer that 1,500 miles from their home? A photo essay brings to life three communities of the 1920s, seen through the lenses of local and itinerant photographers. The much-sought state fish helps to explain the new Minnesota, where pan-fried walleye and walleye quesadillas coexist on the same north woods menu. In Creating Minnesota Atkins invites readers to experience the texture of people's lives through the decades, offering a fascinating and unparalleled approach to the history of our state. Annette Atkins is a professor of history at St. John's University in Collegeville and the author of Harvest of Grief: Grasshopper Plagues and Public Assistance in Minnesota, 1873-1878 (MHS Press) and We Grew Up Together: Brothers and Sisters in Nineteenth-Century America.Binding Type: Paperback

Great shelves
Size: 24 Inch, Color: White
Easy to assemble and comes with everything you need for drywall or wood. Nice color and texture and comes with stickers to hide the holes underneath. I bought two sets of three. These are very long, so I recommend just using two at a time.

Beautiful, sturdy shelves — perfect for any room!
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White, Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
These 16-inch solid wood floating shelves exceeded my expectations. The quality of the wood is excellent — thick, smooth, and very sturdy. They were easy to install, and all the hardware was included. Once mounted, they feel secure and can hold a good amount of weight without sagging.
I love how they add a clean, modern touch to the room. I’ve used them to display small framed photos, books, and decor items in my living room, and they look fantastic. The small ledge is a nice feature too — it keeps things from sliding off easily.
Great for any space — bedroom, kitchen, hallway — and they’re both functional and stylish. Highly recommended!

Perfect shelf
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
They look as pictured. The white is nice. These are sturdy and easy to hang. I was worried because I have not had luck with hanging shelves in the past but these were great. Would definitely recommend.

Stylish and Pratical
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: Black
The LaVie Home Floating Shelves are an outstanding addition to my office! This set of four 16-inch picture ledge shelves is not only stylish but incredibly functional.
One of the best features is the front ledge design, which keeps items securely in place and prevents anything from falling off. It’s perfect for displaying photos, books, or decorative pieces without worrying about them sliding off.
Installation was a breeze—the shelves come with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware, making the process quick and hassle-free. They feel sturdy once mounted and add a clean, modern touch to any room.
These shelves offer the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. If you’re looking for easy-to-install, high-quality wall storage, these are an excellent choice.

Almost perfect
Love these shelves. They were easy to put up. Gave them 4 stars because they don’t have the stickers to cover their screw holes.
