The area's first recorded human inhabitants were the Dakota Indians, whose lands were transformed by fur trade empires and the loggers who called it the "river of pine." A patchwork of farms, cultivated by immigrants from many countries, followed the cutover forests. Today, the St. Croix River Valley is a tourist haven in the land of sky-blue waters and a peaceful escape for residents of the bustling Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan region. N orth Woods River is a thoughtful biography of the river over the course of more than three hundred years. Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski track the river's social and environmental transformation as newcomers changed the river basin and, in turn, were changed by it. The history of the St. Croix revealed here offers larger lessons about the future management of beautiful and fragile wild waters. 410 0$aWisconsin land and life. 606 $aRivers$xHistory 607 $aSaint Croix River (Wis. and Minn.)$xHistory 607 $aSaint Croix River Valley (Wis. and Minn.)$xHistory 615 0$aRivers$xHistory. 676 $a977.5/1 700 $aMcMahon$b Eileen M.$f1954-$01382298 701 $aKaramanski$b Theodore J.$f1953-$01134133 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974509803321 996 $aNorth woods river$94363398 997 $aUNINA
