Lake Superior
This busy community, with so many wants and necessities, so dependent on other sections for bread and meat, clothing and mine supplies, was, down to the year 1864, totally isolated during the winter season. There were no roads out of the country. The mails were hauled through the woods, from Green Bay, on dog trains. The latest news from the seat of war came by dog express. The local roads were poor and a wagon could be hauled only a few miles in any direction from the chief centres. Foot paths and bridle trails were the only avenues through the forests for long distances.
