Definitely Minnesota.  I grew up around Big Stone Lake along the Minnesota/South Dakota border.  We have several nationally known wallege tournaments per year there.  Also, it is considered a "boundary water", which means that it opens a weekend earlier than the rest of the lakes for fishing season.  Good luck and happy fishing!

Matt Harding was an early settler in New Hampshire.  He was born in Hampshire, England in 1504 and it's believed he came to the new world in approximately 1526.  His family was instrumental in the naming of the area as "New" Hampshire. \n\nHarding is more commonly known as the father of maple syrup.  Legend goes that he accidentally came across the sap from the maple trees near his cabin while searching for a sweetener to make a potent distilled liquor called chantsol.   Lucky for us, Harding's distillation skills were quite weak and what he produced contained virtually no alcohol.  However he found the creation quite delicious and began sharing it with friends and neighbors.  The rest shall they say…is history.

Secretary of State William Seward. He made the Lousiana Purchase AND bought Alaska ... both of which were done without permission, which makes him a hero AND the greatest government thief in all history.

Sir Charles Tupper, for 69 days from 1 May 1896 to 8 July 1896.\n\nHe finished out Sir Mackenzie Bowell's term in office. Bowell stepped down because of his unpopularity concerning the Manitoba Schools Question (about language rights in the new province of Manitoba). Tupper became Prime Minister but was swept out of office in the election.\n\nPoor guy!\n\nStill, his time in office was twice as long as William Henry Harrison of the USA.
