The voyageur's highway : Minnesota's border lake land / by Grace Lee Nute.
The voyageur's highway was the route from Lake Superior along inland waterways to the Minnesota North Country. Countless people explorers, fur traders, missionaries, map makers, lumberjacks, miners, conservationists, naturalists were drawn to the region's woods and lake shores. Indians, French Canadians, Yankees, Scandinavians, and Slavs all used the rich resources of the land to follow an old way of life or to find a new one.
