Lake Charlotte, located on the south end of Long Prairie, MN , was named for Charlotte Van Cleve.

Yes, another interesting tidbit, thanks!

This was great! Thanks for this! There is hardly any Minnesota history on KZbin. A couple of things I would have liked to see: 1. Is the Van Cleve school building still standing? If not, when was it torn down, and what's on the site now? (Looks like just houses now.) 2. I assume Van Cleve Park near Dinkytown was named for Charlotte or the family. It would have been nice to have this and and any other possible landmarks mentioned at the end.

The Van Cleve Park is named for her husband Horatio. There is also a lake near Long Prairie named for her. It's hard to include everything, and of course, I don't know it all either! Thanks for the comments!

@@MNBricks Thanks for that information. Again, I really appreciate the video and all the hard work you've been doing!

Where did you find that information of the Solider's getting rid of their scurvy when the natives showed them the Spignot Root?

First successful release of pheasants in Minnesota took place in 1916, postdating your claim of them feasting on a pheasant by some 60 odd years, and they almost certainly were not shooting them in their yard.

[@MNBricks]

I added the picture of a Ringneck Pheasant, which, you are correct, was introduced later. However, pheasants were listed in the Minnesota Game Laws of 1861. What exactly that meant or whether pheasants were possibly confused with ruffed grouse or prairie chickens is not my area of expertise. As far as being "my claim," I don't make things up. Feel free to read Charlotte's online book (she seems to be a very sharp and knowledgeable lady - look at pages 135 and 143) at: www.google.com/books/edition/Three_Score_Years_and_Ten/6SUUAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=charlotte+van+cleve+book&printsec=frontcover

@@MNBricks Well, I'm probably not going to read her entire book...although, it may be interesting. Thanks for your reply. If she's claiming "pheasants" then we must be running into the problem with common names when it comes to biology.
