Acknowledgments
Without the help of many other people this project would not have been
possible. I would first like to acknowledge Professor Breen for
helping me figure out what I wanted my project to be about and for
providing direction. Professor Smith thank you for opening up the
world of Environmental History to me. I would also like to thank
Kris MacPherson
for helping me think of places I could find sources when they were
desperately lacking from my own knowledge base. Thank you also
Joan Olson and everyone at the Northfield historical society for your
help in
diving into the research on early Northfield and giving me directions
to other
sources of information. I would also like to thank the reference
librarians at the Northfield library for all there help in finding
family histories and other interesting books on early Northfield
history. I would also like to thank Susan and the Rice County
Historical Society for allowing me to use pictures on my website.
This is a part of the project I struggled with. Last but not
least I would like to thank the Jeff Sauve and the St. Olaf Archives
for providing many
pictures that covered my project and for helping me get them in a form
I could use on my website. I could not have completed this
project without all of the people mentioned above thank you so much.
