A must read for Minnesotans.

It is undeniable the contribution Mr. Andersen made to the modern development of Minnesota, both as a business person and a public servant. This book is inspirational on a local level, and demonstrates how one person, with the right attitude, can accomplish so much in a lifetime. If nothing else, read this for an inside glimpse of Minnesota's history and the development of our state as it exists today.
