# The Kensington Rune Stone: Preliminary report to the Minnesota Historical Society by its Museum Committee

Minnesota Historical Society. Museum Committee, 1910. _Minnesota Historical Society, St Paul (reprinted in Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society 15, 1915)_.

The committee's investigation: the find on 8 November 1898 with witness statements by Olof and Edward Ohman, the tree and root evidence, the text and translation, the linguistic objections, and a resolution giving a favourable opinion conditional on review by a Scandinavian-language specialist. Includes a bibliography of the 1910 controversy.
