Additional Details

Includes a short history of the town, a six-part poem including "A Minnesota Ballad"; a list of territorial and county officers; and engraved cuts of Huff's hotel, a steamship, and a train. Winona was first settled by Europeans in 1851, and no Winona printing prior to 1855 has been preserved. This carrier's address is unrecorded in Minnesota Imprints or OCLC, and is possibly unique.
