RE: History of the United States (Illustrated)
Background
One of the recent items of historic interest that was shared with the City was a book titled the
History of the United States (Illustrated) that was published in 1888 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The book is inscribed as being "Given to Theodore Hofmann from his friend Mrs. James Sullivan
Norris." The book was discovered and saved from obscurity by ACHP Member Gross during the
Cottage Grove United Church of Christ annual sale that is held in Old Cottage Grove in April.
