| Publisher Description: A must read for anyone planning to canoe the Upper Saint Croix River from its origin near Solon Springs, Wisconsin down to Taylors Falls, Minnesota. The river abounds with history from Native Americans, the first French explorers and the logging industry in the 1800s. Join Paul Cameron discover the history of his grandfather who once owned a cabin below the Gordon Dam. The farther down the river he goes the farther back in time he goes meeting unforgettable characters that his ancestors may have met as they help Paul find his way home. Paul was determined to make this journey on his own but five days and nights on the river changed his view of the past. Paul's past catches up to him and a surprising ending will leave the reader more interested than ever in taking the journey or canoe sections of the Saint Croix River themselves. Once you've been down the river the more you will want to go back and imagine what the river was like when it was used as the highway by the Native Americans and re-discovered by the French. Make your own history. Author Fred A. Brede |
