Two hundred years ago the site of Saint Paul was a remote wilderness inhabited by a band of hunters and gatherers from the Mdewakanton Dakota Tribe, whose bark lodges stood on the shores of a backwater lake, three miles below the distinctive white sandstone bluffs marking one of the Upper Mississippi’s great picturesque river bends. How exactly did that piece of wilderness transform into the village of Saint Paul? Just who were the people directly and indirectly responsible for the emergence of that village in the 1840’s? Join historian Gary Brueggemann as he discusses his new book, Saints and Sinners – The Pioneers of Saint Paul – the epic story of the people who paved the way for an historic city. This free power point presentation will be held at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church, on the corner of Armstrong and Victoria in Saint Paul.
