Louis F. Menage
Louis Francois Menage (August 3, 1850 – March 18, 1924) was a real estate speculator and prominent figure in early Minneapolis, Minnesota history. Characterized as a "tycoon" and "robber baron," Menage earned a fortune developing land on the city's borders into residential housing during the 1870s and 1880s. After a costly legal battle over a real estate deal and the financial downturn of the Panic of 1893, Menage's real estate empire collapsed and he fled the country to avoid prosecution.
==Early life==
Menage was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1850. His father John Menage was the descendant of French immigrants; his mother Mary was a descendant of ''Mayflower'' passenger John Howland. The family moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts when Menage was young. While in high school, Menage's father died of tuberculosis, leaving Louis and his brother to take over the family's confectionery business. In 1871, a doctor diagnosed Menage with "weak lungs" and suggested he move west to avoid falling ill with tuberculosis himself. Menage moved to Minnesota shortly thereafter. After a brief time teaching classes in shorthand at a Minneapolis business school, he found work in Northern Minnesota at a logging camp near Pokegama Lake.〔
