Ahh yes, the days of the Anti-Semite Capital of the United States. The dark days of Minneapolis where the Daytons ruled with an iron (and Christian) fist.

Also look in to "The King of Skid Row".

The King of Skid Row- James Shiffer

I went to a photo exhibit/book release at the Mill City Museum a few years ago to see photos taken by John Bacich of the Gateway District in the 60s. The exhibit was really great.

The book linked above was released at that event and looked really interesting. I haven't read it though. Here's a CP article about the event and an interview with the author.

Here's a list I've been meaning to buy/read. I haven't read any of these yet so I can't vouch for their quality. They mostly focus on MPLS and SP too as that's more where my interests lie.

That's most of what I've seen available on Amazon.

EDIT: The Minnesota Historical Society is also a good resource.
