The History of St. Leon (1781-1967) in Bloomington, MN

Were it not for officials at Xavier University, this book would never have been written. As part of the Master's Degree, a student had to do a research project. I chose to write the History of St. Leon as my research project. Gene McCann, who was the editor of the Lawrenceburg Register at that time, told me he would pay me for the rights to publish it when it was finished. I agreed and Gene and I took many pictures of structures in St. Leon that were still standing at that time. Many of those pictures are included in this revised version of the History of St. Leon.
