The tract of Rum River timber, where some of the logsmentioned were cut, was presumably about four miles northof Cambridge, Isanti County, near a small stream. DanielStanchfield, the pioneer lumberman, who was on the ground in1847-8, writes: I logged there two years, which was the first lumbering upon alarge scale on Rum River. A part of the lumber for building FortSnelling, however, had been cut on the same lake; for we found on itsshores the remains of an old logging camp which had been there manyyears. In its vicinity pine trees had been cut and taken away, and thestumps had partially decayed.
