Minnesota

Minnesota is one of the states of the United States of America. It lies between the Dakotas on the West and Wisconsin on the East, Canada on the North, and Iowa on the South, round the upper waters of the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence, and the Red River of the North. The State is largely prairie, with hundreds of lakes, the largest Red Lake, and is chiefly a wheat-producing area. There are pine forests in the North, iron mines, slate and granite quarries. The climate is dry, equable, and bracing. Education is good. The State university is at Minneapolis. The capital is St. Paul, where the Mississippi is still navigable, a fine city, founded in 1840, the centre of the grocery and dry-goods trade. The largest city is Minneapolis, which has great lumber and flour mills. Duluth has a magnificent harbour and good shipping trade.
