. Lake Superior to the Sea. r the sportsman is only beginning to hear the call, and the territory is so vast that it will be many, many years before its primeval conditions will have been altered, before its rugged grandeur will have been despoiled.

. Lake Superior to the Sea. r the sportsman is only beginning to hear the call, and the territory is so vast that it will be many, many years before its primeval conditions will have been altered, before its rugged grandeur will have been despoiled. In history, too, this region is very rich, veiled with an atmosphere of romance and tradition that is common to no other section. Here came the first explorers and soldiers, here the first messengers of the Word. This was the land of Cartier, Champlain, LeCaron, Joliet, LaSalle, Nicolet, Marquette, Cadillac, Jogues, Breboeuf, and many other knights of the sword and cross who sought to conquer this heathen land for king and church. Here came the first traders to barter their cheap trinkets and fire-water for the valuable pelts of the North; here the pioneers to wrest from the soil the fruits of a primitive agriculture. Here occurred many of the most terrible of the Indian massacres. Here fell Wolfe and Montcalm, Settling Its Forests Yield an Almost Incalculable Wealth.
