It was the search for wealth in furs that brought the early Fur Traders farther into the great unknown interior of North America, and as minerals were discovered, new seekers of wealth, the prospector came. This story is a presentation from the memory of living men, who took part in the dramatic events of the founding of the Red Lake Gold Camp. All names, persons and places in this book are real, and all manners of speech, dialects and languages are reproduced to the best of my knowledge and ability.
