Digging Up The Past: Unearthing the Stories of Anoka County - Paperback

by June Gossler Anderson (Author)

Between the covers of this book you will find stories about the cities within Anoka County tracing the people who once lived in them and the things that happened in them that have become buried beneath the layers of more recent events. The author started "digging up the past" in Anoka County when she was asked to be one of four contributing history writers for the Anoka Union Herald. Under the auspices of the Anoka County Historical Society, she published 79 columns between June of 2009 and June of 2016 when her last column appeared in that popular section of the paper. They are now gathered together in this book in a loose chronological order according to the present Cities of Anoka County in which the events happened and the people lived.
