History
Birk conceived of a summary history of the town of Little Falls in the late 1980s, prompted by a survey project for Minnesota Power and a long-standing desire to increase community support for the preservation of the LEHP. Birk produced many drafts of this work from 1991 to 1999, titled variously "In the Heart of the City," "Through the Heart of the City," and "A Most Remarkable Rapids," with the consistent subtitle "A History of the Mississippi River at the Little Elk Heritage Preserve and Little Falls." Distribution of this manuscript in its various versions appears to have been limited.
