On This Date in Minnesota History: November 28

November 28, 1869 - St. Paul photographer Charles Zimmerman makes the news when he gets knocked out and pinned down by a three-hundred-pound icicle that fell while he was exploring under frozen Minnehaha Falls. Luckily, a passerby found him just in time to save him from a certain death.
