Food will win the war : Minnesota crops, cooks, and conservation during World War I
Item
Identifier: 6534-RefShelf -General
Abstract
Meatless Mondays, Wheatless Wednesdays, vegetable gardens and chickens in every empty lot and backyard. When the United States entered World War I, Minnesotans responded to appeals for personal sacrifice and changed the way they cooked and ate in order to conserve food for the boys "over there".

Norwegians in Minnesota
Item
Identifier: 6264-RefShelf-General

Norwegians, who first arrived in territorial days, created lasting farming settlements, especially in the Red River Valley. Their Lutheran churches continue to dot the landscape. But their experience was also urban, as they entered the trades and industries of the Twin Cities. Today, Norwegian influence helps define Minnesota's unique social, political, and business environment.
