Book excerpt: Upper Town, Middle Town, and Lower Town -- the three hamlets that made up the Triplet City in the 1850s were divided -- by more than the two great ravines that served as natural boundaries. Three distinct and sometimes conflicting cultures further separated them. Middle Town had been settled by industrious German Catholics, Lower Town by Yankee Protestants of the merchant class, and Upper Town by wealthy Southern gentry. Despite these differences the three towns merged, and from this unlikely cultural potpourri grew the vibrant city of St. Cloud. Book jacket.
