This book is a good quick read for someone wanting to learn a few facts on Minnesota. It is simple to read and has good information. I loved how it discussed Minnesota's important landmarks such as the Split Rock Lighthouse and Glensheen mansion. It also lists agriculture facts and the geography. Good informative read.
