Isle Royale Forums

Isle Royale National Park Service History Electronic Library & Archive.

https://npshistory.com/publications/isro/index.htm

Wonderful index into all sorts of historic and pre-historic information.

After a quick browse I discovered that Pete Edisen had a chicken coop and also raised goats and pigs.

I have a VERY interesting PDF of a scanned doc from 1953. A research / informative essay written by one of the old park rangers. It is slightly above the 5meg upload limit though.

Upload it to any one of a number of cloud services (Google Drive, One Drive, Drop Box, iCloud), designate it as shared and then post a link.

Let's try this... 1953 Hakala

This document touches on a couple controversial subjects.

- Presence of caribou on the island as a native species

- The removal of skeletal remains of "the ancient ones"

Both topics are outright denied in my experience by the NPS.


EDIT: will move this to it's own thread tonight.

The DropBox method worked OK.

Very interesting that a Ranger would undertake such an endeavor.

Thanks for testing the link, a lot of the things I share from gDrive require me to auth everyone even when I set it in a 'shared' folder with its generated URL, I bet he spent a winter or two reading through the old archives too. I moved it over to its own topic.
