THE VOYAGEUR'S HIGHWAY. by Grace Lee Nute.
This "highway" was the route from Lake Superior along inland waterways to the Minnesota North Country--partly through the joint international Boundary Waters Wilderness. A dependable source on the history of the fur trade, mining of the Iron Range, and logging in the region. Chapters include "Boundary Routes and Disputes", "Famous Men of the Border", "Fur Trading Companies", "Voyageurs", "Border Indians", "Logging Days". It is the story of explorers, fur trappers, missionaries, map makers, lumberjacks, miners, conservationists, naturalists--and the trials, perils, and rewards they faced in and received from this land of water trails. Persons exploring this still-wild world today can add another dimension to their visits by knowing of the story of earlier generations. Photographs, bibliography, chronology, maps, 131 pages, index.
