Filled with colorful, little-known anecdotes and unusual historical connections, North Star Rising is a highly readable, often humorous, frequently surprising account of how the nation came to take notice of this northern Midwestern state. The book concludes with a look at recent Minnesota political figures as well as a peek at some of the rising stars of the DFL, Republican, and Independence parties. It depicts Minnesota?s political involvement on the national stage from the state?s infancy to its hosting of the Republican National Convention in 2008.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1880654385\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1880654385.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Casselman, Barry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
