In the introduction, Thornley writes, “Cemetery surfing has become an increasingly popular hobby... . People making treks include genealogists tracing their roots, artists and writers admiring the monuments and epitaphs, travelers looking to get off the beaten path... . Visitors respond in different ways to what they encounter, taking pictures, making rubbings, leaving offerings. . . ." This guidebook — splashed with interesting, enlightening and often unknown factoids about the state's history — also contains a helpful appendix with a county-by-county listing of Minnesota's cemeteries and their specific locations and lists the 400 famous, infamous and just plain interesting Minnesotans whose graves were visited by Thornley. The author's interest in cemeteries is not new. He has also visited the grave of every member of Baseball’s Hall of Fame, a quest that took him across the United States and to Cuba. -

Why did emigrants leave their homelands and move to Minnesota? Where in the state did they settle? What did they do, and how did they organize? How did they maintain their ethnicity? These are just a few of many deep questions addressed in this massive document making the subtitle, "A Survey of the State's Ethnic Groups", almost a misnomer. This is not "survey", as in quick scan or exit poll. This is an 8 1/2" X 11", 614-page tome with photos, illustrations, and charts covering 60 ethnic groups that settled in Minnesota. This is by far the largest and most expensive book carried by Rural Route Bookstore, and if it weren't worth the price, we wouldn't carry it. The various scholarly contributors read like a Who's Who of ethnic studies. When published, the St. Paul Dispatch-Pioneer Press wrote, "If you are a descendant of Icelanders or Lebanese, Greeks or Japanese, you will find interesting material in this book about your forebears and how it was when they settled in Minnesota." And yes, all five Scandinavian groups are covered in detail in this "must have" book for historian or genealogist.
