Description
North Star Rising
traces the impact Minnesota's politicians have had on national
politics, from its first territorial governor, Alexander Ramsey, to
Vice Presidents Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale. Filled with
colorful, little-known anecdotes and unusual historical connections,
North Star Rising is a highly readable, often humorous, frequently
surprising account of how the nation came to take notice of this
northern Midwestern state. The book concludes with a look at recent
Minnesota political figures as well as a peek at some of the rising
stars of the DFL, Republican, and Independence parties. It depicts
Minnesota's political involvement on the national stage from the
state's infancy to its hosting of the Republican National Convention
in 2008.
