Plot

Eloise Butler (1851 to 1933) was a Victorian plant hunter. She came to Minneapolis as the city was being settled and saw wild places disappear beneath Minneapolis? streets and fought to create one wild place. Seventy years after her death, her treasured wild place within urban sprawl still exists in Minneapolis, in Theodore Wirth Park.

** Born in Appleton, Maine and spent her early years in the New England region
