Remnants of Ovens and Early Settlers on the Whitemouth River
A narrative recounts 1865 settlers along the Dawson Trail near the White mouth river, noting river travel from Elma to River Hills, portages, and a German immigrant community. It mentions early wells, a brick clay rush to Lac du Bonnet, and Holiday Beach first settlers. The trip ends with snow and a thank you to helpers. Scouts covered about 60 miles in two days.
