From the editors' introduction:
"St. Paul was originally called Pig's Eye's Landing and was named after
Pig's Eye Parrant--trapper, moonshiner, and proprietor of the most popular
drinking establishment on the Mississippi. When Minnesota became a
territory in 1849, the town leaders, realizing that a place called Pig's
Eye might not inspire civic confidence, changed the name to St. Paul
Across the river, Minneapolis has its own sordid story. By the turn of the
20th century it was considered one of the most crooked cities in the
nation, and as recently as the mid-'90s, Minneapolis was called
'Murderopolis'' due to a rash of killings that occurred over a long hot
summer . . . Every city has its share of crime, but what makes the Twin
Cities unique may be that we have more than our share of good writers to
chronicle it."
