Susan K. O'brien said Highly Recommend. Lovely book of so many interesting places now gone. Extremely well-researched. Also a great contribution to Minnesota history, as the state and particularly Minneapolis has a tendency to tear down and not save historic buildings and site (I am still mourning the loss of the old Leamington Hotel.)

He lives in Minneapolis. He tours not only Twin Cities buildings, such as the Fairoaks mansion, the Wilder Baths, and the Beyrer Brewery, but also its sites, such as the Wonderland amusement park, in order to re-create not only where but how Minnesotans lived. Mayo House to the Hastings Spiral Bridge and the Lyceum Theater of Duluth, El-Hai rediscovers a lost landscape and the values and lifestyle of a bygone era. Lost Minnesota presents eighty-nine beautifully illustrated stories about these fascinating places and those who built them, lived in them, and tore them down.
