Back in the period of Louis XIV, Minnesota belonged to France. Pierre Esprit Radisson and Medard Chouart, French explorers, were the first white men known to have set foot within her boundaries. That was in 1655. They stayed in the region a year and then returned to Montreal laden with a fortune in fur pelts. In 1763 the region passed from France into the possession of Great Britain. Minnesota was the scene of the bloody Sioux Indian uprising in 1862 in which hundreds of whites and Indians were slain. Historic spots and scenes of the uprising are marked in profusion in various parts of the state. The twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are the metropolitan area of the Northwest. They are the markets through which pass the Northwest's products, grain, livestock and produce. Duluth, on the Great Lakes, is the outlet for much of the wheat and all of the iron ore exported from the State. 1872 (Pres.), Greeley, Dem. and Lib., 47.288: Grant, Rep., 82.175. 1876 (Pres.).

It is only in the last fifty years that the state has become a winter resort for visitors from the North; but for more than a century inland Southerners have moved to the Mississippi Coast or to the state's many quiet springs and mineral wells for their summer retreat. The Coast, freshened with the constant breeze from off the Gulf, is built up almost solidly with hotels, tourist camps, and cottages. The new highways bridge the centuries of Mississippi's storied past. The Mississippi River bridge at Vicksburg spans the channel down which in 1863 Grant ran his gunboats past a gauntlet of fire from Confederate batteries. The seawall drive at Ocean Springs follows the Old Spanish Trail. The mile-long Iberville Memorial Bridge lies across the entrance to Biloxi Bay where in 1699 the French established their first capital in the Mississippi Valley. 1904 (Pres.).
