Heroes, Rogues and Wisdom: A 20th-Century American Family History in Bloomington, MN

Yet, as different as they were individually, they had something extraordinary in common: their lives neatly bracketed the entirety of the 20th century. A period of unprecedented innovation, conflict, discovery, and change. A period when forces never before experienced moved them in directions no one could have foreseen-and they have the stories to prove it.
