Have you ever wondered how the Mississippi River was formed? Or why shark teeth have been found in the Iron Range of the Upper Midwest? Towering mountain ranges, explosive volcanoes, expansive glaciers, and long-extinct forms of both land and sea life were an important part of Minnesota's ancient history. Today the evidence of this remarkable heritage is revealed in the state's rocky outcroppings, stony soils, and thousands of lakes.

Winner of the 2021 Minnesota Book Award for Minnesota Nonfiction The story of the scientist who first mapped Minnesota’s geology, set against the backdrop of early scientific inquiry in the state At twenty, Newton Horace Winchell declared, “I know nothing about rocks.” At twenty-five, he decided to make them his life’s work. As a young geologist tasked with heading the Minnesota Geological and Natural History Survey, Winchell (1839–1914) charted the prehistory of the region, its era of inland seas, its volcanic activity, and its several ice ages—laying the foundation for the monumental five-volume Geology of Minnesota. Tracing Winchell’s remarkable path from impoverished fifteen-year-old schoolteacher to a leading light of an emerging scientific field, Minnesota’s Geologist also recreates the heady early days of scientific inquiry in Minnesota, a time when one man’s determination and passion for learning could unlock the secrets of the state’s distant past and present landscape. Traveling by horse and cart, by sailboat and birchbark canoe, Winchell and his group surveyed rock outcrops, river valleys, basalt formations on Lake Superior, and the vast Red River Valley. He studied petrology at the Sorbonne in Paris, bringing cutting-edge knowledge to bear on the volcanic rocks of the Arrowhead region. As a founder of the American Geological Society and founding editor of American Geologist, the first journal for professional geologists, Winchell was the driving force behind scientific endeavor in early state history, serving as mentor to many young scientists and presiding over a household—the Winchell House, located on the University of Minnesota’s present-day mall—that was a nexus of intellectual ferment. His life story, told here for the first time, draws an intimate picture of this influential scientist, set against a backdrop of Minnesota’s geological complexity and splendor.

Excerpt from The Geology of Minnesota, Vol. 3: Part I, of the Final Report, Paleontology Hon. John S. Pillsbury, President of the Board of Regents: After an interval of six years I tender again a volume of the final report of the geological and natural history survey of the state. The materials for this volume have accumulated gradually since the survey began, and latterly they have been much increased through the cooperation of various collectors and assistants. This manuscript will make a large volume, and it may be found desirable to issue it in two parts. It pertains to the paleontology and systematic geology of the Lower Silurian, which is found in the southeastern portion of the state, already described in volumes I and II. Prof. N. H. Winchell. State Geologist: I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 30th ult., tendering the third volume of the final report of the survey, and to congratulate you on the completion of another considerable portion of the state survey. I trust there may be no delay in its publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
