Biographies from the 1911 "An Illustrated History of the Counties of Rock and Pipestone, Minnesota". As you can see, there are many biographies to be transcribed. I will be adding them as I can, but if you find a name in the index for which you would like to have the bio, please email me and I will be happy to transcribe it and send it to you, as well as put it on the site.
