The Handbook contains the usual information for potential settlers. The map is primarily of Minnesota although a small portion of eastern Dakota is shown. Perhaps the most interesting part of this little piece is the last page of text titled "Map Making," which includes the following observations: "The manufacture of maps in Chicago is stimulated by their great demand from the growing country around. Here local pride and public spirit constantly call for new maps to show varied and accumulating improvements which are rapidly progressing. These are readily bought to displace the old ones, which, owing to the rapid development of the country, are sometimes obsolete before they are soiled by office dust. Constant vigilance is required to keep pace with the cropping out of new towns and railroads where the Anglo-Saxon sets his foot, which seem to spring up as if from spores left in his tracks." Map is full color. The book is bound into stamped dark brown cloth covers 15.5x11 with "Hand Book Of Minnesota With a Map" stamped in gilt.
