Maude Kegg's memories build a bridge to a time when building birch-bark wigwams and harvesting turtles were still part of the everyday life of a native girl in the mid-west. In this bilingual book, this elder of the Minnesota Anishinaabe reminisces about her childhood. An English translation of each story appears on pages facing the original Ojibwe text, and the editor John Nicholds has included a full Ojibwe-English glossary with study aids.

reviewed Portage Lake: Memories of an Ojibwe Childhood on March 14, 2013 Portage Lake: Memories of an Ojibwe Childhood
This was a really good look at both the very earliest origins of the fur trade on the Missouri River and the start of St. Louis.
You get a lot of information on the Chouteau family, primarily Auguste and Pierre (Jean-Pierre). I liked the detail on the costs, like how much money people were making, how much furs were, even how much the expense of the Marquis de Lafayette's visit was in the 1810s.
This is a very good resource for historians. If you're a regular reader it's not very dry. I was primarily interested in Montana and found a wealth of information about the Upper Missouri. Give it a look!
