If anyone on this list lives in the Minneapolis St Paul 7 County Metro Area, the Minnesota Historical Society (http://www.mnhs.org/library/index.html) has copies of the three books listed in the email subject. The books can only be viewed in the research library (true for the entire research library collection). Their copy service will make copies for a fee. Forgive me if this is old news or uninteresting for anyone. Thank you. Carol
