- Description
William Bartlett produced this eclectic history of the Chippewa Valley drawn from newspaper articles, personal reminscences, photographs, and interviews with residents of the area. Of particular note are the reminiscences of Mrs. Julia Spears (pgs 54-55, 114-122) who describes the horrific journey to Sandy Lake, Minnesota, in which about 400 Ojibwe perished (for more information, see Turning Points topic "Treaty Councils"). Other important people who figure prominently in his book include Indian interpreter Benjamin Armstrong (1820-1900) and fur trader Jean Brunet (1791-1877). Bartlett also provides single articles on many other aspects of local history including the fur trade, hunting, the Civil War eagle "Old Abe," and the lumber industry.
