Within our state's borders you'll find such exotic place names as Amor and Darling, Fertile and Conception, Comfort and Happyland, Looneyville and Nimrod, Flour Lake and the Diarrhoea River, Great Scott and Eureka, Home and Nowhere, Moonshine and Whiskey Creek, Stringtown and Pig's Eye, Snowball and North Pole, Embarrass and Kiester, Coin and Money Creek, and Chickentown and Bull Moose. But how did these places get such unusual names? Wonder no longer as author Michael Fedo relates the curious and prosaic ways in which a place gets named.

Place names tell a rich history of how our state was settled. This compact guide presents the fascinating stories behind over 1,200 Minnesota place names. Included are all the names you'd expect--counties, larger towns and cities, major lakes and rivers--as well as the curious and odd. Culled from over 20,000 entries in the classic work Minnesota Place Names by Warren Upham, this concise guide is the perfect companion for anyone who travels the highways and waterways of the North Star state.

Nice bold ink!
Color: Multi Color-440ml, Size: Multi Color-440ml, Color: Multi Color-440ml, Size: Multi Color-440ml
I was skeptical at first because it was my first time making anything using sublimation. I didn’t know that the ink wouldn’t look as vibrant when it was on paper but I trusted the process. The color was amazing on the coasters that I made. The print quality was great. The ink was easy to install. I’m definitely making this my go to ink!
