Tales of Four Lakes by Duane R. Lund (1977, Trade Paperback)

Description: PREFACE Tales of Four Lakes and a River is a special look at Minnesota history. Lakes and streams have been entwined in the development of our state and our way of life from the beginning. Leech, Gull, Mille Lacs, and the Red Lakes, as well as the Crow Wing River, have exciting histories of their own, but to learn about them collectively, is to learn about Minnesota. Their waters have reflected Indian civilizations, explorers' canoes, the packs of the fur traders, the crosses and cloaks of missionaries, the pikes of the loggers, the giant wheels of ox carts, the nets of commercial fishermen, the homes and farms of earl settlers, and today's countless contrivances of recreation. And they are very much a part of the high quality of living of which our state can rightfully boast. But why these four lakes and why this river? Because they are among the largest, because they are among the most historic, because they represent well the thousands of other lakes and streams of our state, because they are today among the most beautiful and most significant, and because they are among the best known to and most deeply loved by the author. In good condition. Front cover shows slight wear, back cover has some relatively minor damage. Pages have very slight yellowing, but no marks or tears.
