Minnesota related books

I've got a couple of Minnesota related books I'm getting rid of. Might someone out there be interested in them? The first is Pine, Stream, & Prairie: Minnesota and Wisconsin in Profile by James Gray, 1945. Mostly text but over a dozen surprisingly varied b/w pictures: Lake Superior, an open pit mine, grain elevators (but none of Minnehaha Falls, I checked).

The second is Men on the Moving Frontier by Roger Kennedy, 1969. Short bios of Beltrami/Long, Sibley/Ramsey, Ellis/Burnham, Donnely/Kellogg, Fitzgerald/Purcell. A goodly number of pictures too, although not printed on glossy paper like the first book did.

Let me know if you're interested. We'll even pay for shipping!

I have the second, but would be happy to take the first. Even without the Minnehaha Falls being pictured.

Excellent!

What if I sent you both and you donated the second to a library book sale out there? It seems like the right person would be more likely to find it there than here.
