When you open your mind and your heart to the content of these pages and experience the 18th and 19th century history of northern Minnesota as recorded by mixed-blood trader and Indian Service employee, John G. Morrison Jr., and subsequently by Bemidji physician and historian, Dr. Charles Vandersluis, you enter their world as they experienced it. Living now in a world they helped to create, you will have entered a time capsule that whisks you back two hundred years and more.
