The book "Compendium of History and Biography of Northern Minnesota, Containing a History of the State of Minnesota: Also Biographical Sketches of Hundreds of Prominent Old Settlers and Representative Citizens of Northern Minnesota" G. A. Ogle, 1902, according to Google Books, contains 10 references to The Canning surname.
While Google Books gives three short extracts, I was not able to see more.
I was hoping that someone may be able to access this book and supply me with the full extracts for the individuals that are about the Canning family or refer to them.
Regards,
Simon
