First sentence: East European Jewish immigrants came to Minneapolis because relatives were already there, because it was the spot on the railroad where their money ran out, because Minneapolis was rumored to be a rich lumber town where there was money to be made, or perhaps because a sack of flour they'd seen in Vitebsk, Russia, said "Pillsbury Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota"-and there had to be jobs in a town where mills produced flour that traveled all the way to a Russian shtetl!
