  • Caleb D. Dorr and the Early Minnesota Lumber Industry Rodney C
    Caleb D. Dorr and the Early Minnesota Lumber Industry Rodney C. Loehr OLDER RESIDENTS of Minneapolis remember Caleb D. Dorr as one who contributed substantially to the establishment and development of the lumber industry in Minnesota and whose career coincided with the period of extensive lumbering operations in the state. Al­ though the passing of the years and the decline of lumbering have tended to dim his memory, the story of his life can be reconstructed from fragments of information that have survived. Investigation shows that his interests and activities extended beyond the industry which made him wealthy, to the benefit both of his city and of his state. Dorr was born at East Great Works, now Bradley, in Penobscot County, Maine, on July 9,1824. His father, Charles M. Dorr, was a na­ tive of Massachusetts, and his mother, Ann Morse, came from Maine. Four years before Caleb's birth his father migrated into the Maine woods. Charles Dorr was a small farmer, but since the area near the Penobscot River was heavily timbered, he carried on some lumbering operations. Many other early Maine settlers were likewise part-time lumbermen, and it was no accident that the Minnesota pineries attracted so many Maineites. Besides Caleb, there were four children in the Dorr family. They grew up in moderate circumstances. Little is known of Dorr's early youth beyond the fact that his education was received in the village school during the winter months. But school days soon were over for Caleb. At the age of thirteen he was acquiring experience in lumber­ ing.

INTRODUCTION Mille Lacs Lake, which spans three counties in central Minnesota, has a long tradition of being one of the best lakes in Minnesota for catching walleye.2 Mille Lacs Lake has gained national recognition for being a fishing destination for the large quantity and size of walleye the lake produces.3 Yet recent reports from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) show that even with current conservation efforts, the present fishery is in a dire condition.4 One of the potential, and likely most 1 Matthew Steffes, Juris Doctorate Expected May 2015, Hamline University School of law.

  • Dakota Portraits
    DAKOTA PORTRAITS INTRODUCTION These "Dakota Portraits," written by the Reverend Stephen R. Riggs in 1858, were published in the Minnesota Free Press of St. Peter at irregular intervals from January 27 to July 14, 1858. The newspaper itself was a weekly, edited by William C. Dodge, and appeared for the first time on May 27, 1857. With the issue of November 17, 1858, its publication was, for financial reasons, temporarily suspended. In April of the fol­ lowing year, however, the paper resumed publication under the name of the St. Peter Free Press and it continued to be issued until December 21 of that year, when the plant was destroyed by fire.1 The last issue in the file of the Minnesota Historical Society is dated December 7, 1859. Because of his long residence among the Dakota Indians, Riggs was peculiarly well fitted to describe their characteristics.

He was born in Ohio in 1812, a descendant of " a long line of godly men, ministers of the gos­ pel and others," and received a good education at Jefferson College and Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Penn­ sylvania. After he was licensed as a preacher, he was sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to aid Dr. Thomas S. Williamson in his work with the Indians of the Northwest. Riggs and his wife arrived at Fort Snelling to begin their labors in June, 1837, and spent the summer with the Reverend Jedediah Stevens at Lake Harriet.
