The ghost town, Lac qui Parle Village, 1952.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122659311

A typed reminiscent account of Chalmers' life in early Lac qui Parle County. Chalmers was born in Lac qui Parle and moved to Madison in 1885. Lac qui Parle was one of the early settlements in Minnesota, and was at one time inhabited by a band of Wahpeton Indians. Some early settlers and important events connected with Lac qui Parle are: the establishment of a mission by Dr. Thomas S. Williamson (1835); establishment of a trading post and stock farm by Joseph Renville (1837); and the early importation of the first knitting loom, grindstone, blacksmith shop, and church bell in Minnesota.
