Canoe Route
From Lake Superior to Sandy Lake and the Mississippi, used by Indians and traders from the latter half of the 18th century. It led up the St. Louis to the East Savanna, up that stream some ten miles, and thence by a hard six-mile portage, to the West Savanna and Sandy Lake.
Verbatim 1940 text, presented as a historical record, not current interpretation. Minnesota now calls the 1862 conflict the U.S.-Dakota War and has since replaced the wording on some of these signs.
