A look into Minnesota's history

We delve into stories from Minnesota's past, with three Minnesota Public Radio documentaries. First, MPR's Dan Olson reports on Sister Elizabeth Kenny's efforts to fight the polio epidemic in the 1940's and 50's. The second part of the program is a report from MPR's Tim Post and Mark Steil on the 1862 Dakota Indian war, called "Minnesota's Uncivil War." Then, MPR's Mary Losure and Dan Olson report on the struggles of the Finns who immigrated to Minnesota's Iron Range at the turn of the century. This report is called "Finland Was a Poor Country."
