SynopsisUncle John is rightly enamored of a state with the world's only two-story outhouse. What other state has spawned such disparate personalities as J. Paul Getty, Bob Dylan, and Jesse Ventura? Uncle John now offers this collection of fascinating facts and amusing trivia, providing armchair travelers with a glimpse into Minnesota's people, places, and stunning natural wonders. Illustrations & maps., My favorite sandwich is peanut butter, baloney, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and mayonnaise on toasted bread with catsup on the side. --Hubert H. Humphrey (former Senator from Minnesota) Humphrey's sandwich doesn't include any of the top 5 food gifts from Minnesota--wild rice, potato lefse, lutefisk, maple sugar and syrup, or bison jerky--but it provides a glimpse into Minnesotans' unique character. And favorite son Garrison Keilor isn't the only Minnesotan with a sense of humor; St. Urho Day, created as a joke by a couple of Minnesotan Finns, is today recognized in all 50 states. And whereas all states have official flowers and birds, Minnesota has a state beverage (milk) and muffin (blueberry). Sounds like a good place for breakfast. Its people are just one interesting facet of a state where travelers can find such fascinating curiosities as the SPAM Museum or the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices. And Uncle John cannot help but be enamored of a state with a town competing with cities in Illinois and New York to lay claim to the world's only two-story outhouse., "My favorite sandwich is peanut butter, baloney, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and mayonnaise on toasted bread with catsup on the side." - Hubert H.

Oh, and Judy Garland, Bob Dylan, and Prince, too! Minnesota is a state with a rich history and a proud citizenship, and as Uncle John found out firsthand, "Minnesota Nice" is not an understatement. From the town of Tenney (Pop. 6) to the burgeoning metropolis of the Twin Cities, you'll be warmed up with amazing facts, fascinating history, and fun quizzes. Check out... Hold the Mayo (Clinic) A trip down the mighty Mississip' The birthplace of Spam (the meat, not the e-mails) Behind the scenes of Fargo, Purple Rain, and other Minnesota movies How a Minnesotan was responsible for hockey's "Miracle on Ice" When the Swedes founded Saint Paul Hello from Lake Wobegon! Party-sota! And much, much more!
