Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the North Star State Minnesota is a State of varied natural resources. Within the boun darics of the State are the oldest lands in the world, the oldest known geologic formations, - the ancient granites, and the youngest forma tions, - the glacial deposits. The purpose of this book has been to set forth in simple language the scientific story of this great land. The story ought to be both interest ing and valuable, for upon a proper understanding of the facts depends the best development of the natural resources of the State. Such a story might be dry and tedious. It may be as interesting as a romance. It depends upon how the story is told. To be scientific a treatise does not have to be hard. Scientific facts do not necessarily need to be ex pressed in technical language. Many-syllabled words sometimes conceal ignorance. The most profound facts of science may be stated in simple and readable language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
