Northern Minnesota's Highways

   

Here in the north part of Minnesota, we put great value on our rivers. But when the first white men came to this area, the rivers were used as super highways. Any settlements were built on the banks of our rivers. Even the farmers, cleared land near the rivers.

   Rivers were a main artery that ran through this country. Trade goods were hauled up and down the rivers and passenger boats brought travelers here.

   Commerce was dependent upon the river system to bring goods to the far north. We had many steamboats coming and going on the rivers. 

   So when you read "The River Calls", pay attention to how important these rivers were.  

   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of this book at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day.

   Glad you stopped into "therivercalls" blog. We'll try to put something new here each day.

Good Reading,
