I wish I could give it a 4.5 star! I loved this book so much I went and bought the Northern Edition part two. There was so much good information in here and the author kept it really interesting. The only two complaints I have are, I wish the counties were ordered more in a row than all over the place. It may have made it easier to keep track of where each one was. My second complaint is that it would have been really nice to have map in the book to mark these areas. Prior to reading the book I asked my dad to use his map to map out some of these areas, we both had a fun time doing it. However, a referral map in the book would have been great. I can't wait to read the next one.

I am giving it 4 because I am a Minnesotan amd interested in Minnesota's history.

But.....

The writing is inconsistent, to the point that I wonder if the author didn't write all of it.

And maps would have been extremely helpful.
