The Life of Swede Hollow is the story of a special valley in Saint Paul, Minnesota, from the beginning of its era as a neighborhood for European immigrants in the 1860s to the present day natural haven it has become. The book includes numerous photos of Swede Hollow itself and the people who called it home, as well as the surrounding areas that played a vital part in helping those new to St. Paul establish a life here. A selection of articles and reminiscences about Swede Hollow are included. The readers will also learn about the advocates who fought to establish the beautiful valley as a city park and prevent it from being destroyed either by design or by neglect. --
