The papers consist of correspondence, publications, memoranda,
reports, speeches, newspaper clippings, articles, circular letters, budgets,
and other materials documenting the Council's history as well as the activities
of the men instrumental in formulating and executing the program. The Council
was organized in 1928 to work for the preservation of wilderness values in a
ten million acre area in northeastern Minnesota and Ontario comprising the
Rainy Lake watershed. Contemplating first threats to the area by dams that
changed water levels and indiscriminate logging as well as later problems of
road building, penetration by airplanes, and resorts, the Council waged a
preservation campaign encompassing many facets: state and federal legislation;
federal acquisition of land in Minnesota; agreements with Canada regarding the
area; an airspace ban; attempts to coordinate efforts by governmental agencies,
such as the United States Forest Service and the Minnesota Conservation
Commission publicity to secure broad public support and financing; and the
reconciliation of divergent points of view among individual conservationists
and organizations working for the same broad objectives.
Although there is material both preceding and following the dates, the
greater part of the papers document the period between 1927 and 1950. Acting on
behalf of the Council were dozens of men from the United States and Canada.
Important among those who worked to execute the program were Ernest C.
Oberholtzer, a conservationist, outdoorsman, and wilderness philosopher from
Ranier, Minnesota; Frank B. Hubachek, a lawyer from Minneapolis (later
Chicago); Charles S. Kelly, a lawyer from Minneapolis (later Chicago);
Frederick S. Winston, a lawyer from Minneapolis; Lawrence Burpee, a Canadian
historian and chairman of the International Joint Commission; Arthur Hawkes, a
Canadian journalist; Sewell Tyng, a New York lawyer; and Sigurd Olson, an Ely,
Minnesota, conservationist and writer.
The papers--particularly those emanating from Oberholtzer--contain
personal data as well as information on the Council's work, for many of the men
whose support he enlisted became personal friends and many personal friends
became interested in the cause of wilderness preservation. His broad interests
in wildlife, canoeing, Indian culture, and conservation organizations other
than the Council are reflected, as are the personal concerns of other men who
served the Council's cause.
Included is information on the President's Quetico-Superior Committee;
fund raising; publicity; Canadian parks and forests; Superior National Forest;
Minnesota state forests; state and federal legislation, particularly the
Shipstead-Nolan Act (1930); land acquisition and exchanges; use of the area for
resorts, outfitting, hunting, fishing, logging, and water-power developments;
lawsuits by Rainy Lake property owners and the state of Minnesota against the
Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company for flood damages; and hearings before the
International Joint Commission respecting water levels.
There are also data on animal and plant life; the issues of an
airspace ban and road building in the wilderness reaches; controversy over the
relocation of trunk highway 61 at Grand Portage; Grand Portage history, the fur
trade dock reconstruction there, and Ojibwe Indian reservation land use;
relations with Minnesota, United States, and Canadian government agencies; and
organizations such as the American Forestry Association, the American Legion,
the Izaak Walton League of America, the Minnesota Emergency Conservation
Committee, and the Minnesota Wildlife Federation.

American Legion,
undated, 1927-1950. 10 folders.
|
| | | Newspaper clippings, resolutions, correspondence, and other
papers regarding the support of the Quetico-Superior program by the American
Legion. Winston and Oberholtzer were the leading correspondents for the
Quetico-Superior Council, and among the Legion members who are represented are
Earl V. Cliff, James Morrow, and Stafford King. The unit of the Legion which
led the support of the Council's program was the conservation committee.
Although the files relate largely to the work of the Legion's Minnesota
Department, there are many references to support given both by the national
group and the Canadian Legion. |
| | | Council leaders considered the Legion as one of the program's
most influential and persistent backers. Among the spheres in which it acted
were the following: the Backus dam crisis in 1927; the resolution in the
Minnesota legislature in 1929 on behalf of the federal Shipstead-Newton Bill;
the Shipstead-Nolan Bill in Congress; hearings before the International Joint
Commission on border lakes water levels and power projects in 1933 and later;
the state Shipstead-Nolan Bill in 1933; relations with Minnesota's Conservation
Commission, particularly in regard to the emphasis the Commission placed on
various aspects of the Quetico-Superior program and the Commission's attitude
toward federal acquisition of land in Minnesota (especially the Kabetogama and
Grand Portage purchase units); the National Forest Reservation Commission's
program of land purchases for the enlargement of Superior National Forest (1936
and later); the resultant conflicts in the Minnesota legislature as well as
with the Minnesota Conservation Commission; the Grand Portage road controversy
(1937 and later); Amendment One (1938) to the Minnesota constitution relating
to the exchange of state public lands for privately owned or federal lands;
controversy over the dismissal of Herman Wenzel as Conservation Commissioner
and suggestions for the appointment of David Winton to this position (1939);
and the airspace reservation (1949-1950). |
| | | There are numerous tributes in this file to the Legion for its
support after the Quetico-Superior was endorsed in 1929 by the American and
Canadian legions as a memorial to World War I servicemen and later as a
memorial to those who served in World War II. |
| | | Because Winston was a member of the Legion as well as of the
Quetico-Superior Council, the papers include some information on general Legion
activities, such as conventions and work of the conservation committee in areas
other than the Quetico-Superior. |
