Anyone have any suggestions for books dealing with the history of the Border Route? Especially interested in Fort Charlotte and the Grand Portage.

Thanks!

A few suggestions:
"Our historic BOUNDARY WATERS"
by DR. Duane R. Lund
ISBN 0-934860-13-0
"PORTAGE into the past"
by J. Arnold Bolz
(no ISBN number)
"The Voyageur's Highway"
by Grace Lee Nute
ISBN 0-87351-006-2

All three are good reads.
Enjoy,

a dated but important book by morse, a canadian who paddled with s. olson.

Fur Trade Canoe Routes of Canada: Then and Now

This is out of print, but is available at online used bookshops and perhaps a nearby library:

The Grand Portage Story. 1992. Carolyn Gilman with research by Alan R. Woolworth. Minnesota Historical Society Press.

The book (page 19) notes that little is actually known of Fort Charlotte:

The most detailed description (by traveler George Heriot, who did not stop here) says only that it is "a stockaded quadrangle, with buildings and stores within it." Another source adds that there are"extensive Stores for Furs & Goods." We know it must have warehouses, a yard for storing and repairing canoes, and living quarters.

Thank you for the suggestions!!!!!
