Over 250,000 people visit Minnesota's only national park each year. This popularity raises crucial questions: Can timber wolves thrive amid snowmobiles and jet skis? Can the thin layer of fragile soil atop the Precambrian shield, the oldest exposed rock on earth, survive the feet of campers? Voyageur Country explores these quandaries, describes the environmental significance of the park, and presents the only complete history of this important region. The first paperback edition of this classic work includes an updated preface and chronology. The birth of the modern incarnation of Voyageurs as a national park is detailed, with accounts of the contributions of Sigurd Olson and other conservationists. Voyageur Country is an essential launching point for considering the policy that guides our relationship with the land.
