Echoes From the Past

Echoes From the Past

In the 1800s, great changes came to the Lake Superior region. Water roads had transported fur traders for centuries and Native Americans for millennia. Ceded through treaties, the pristine lands of the Ojibwe surrendered to the logger’s saw and the miner’s pick. Railroads brought eager immigrants who followed their dreams in search of a better life. Echoes From the Past is the story of a region’s transformation from rugged wilderness to one of settlers and settlements.

Includes the Ojibwe’s Wisconsin Death March.


Beautifully done, elegantly written. This book, as with her first, may just be the standard general history of the area. An extremely satisfying read.
- Steven Fortney, author of The Reunion


Thorough and enjoyable, Echoes From the Past connects personal histories with territorial and national events in a way that pulls the reader in.
- John Lemke, Manager, Wisconsin Historical Society


In comfortable prose, Echoes From the Past relates the story of how the region developed. Easy to digest and interesting to read.
- Steve Harsin, head librarian and director, Iron Range Research Center
