The Fur-Trader's House on Yellow Lake, Wisconsin
| This house was located among the Chippewa (Ojibwa) Indians. Here Hölzlhuber and his companions took shelter in an uncomfortable stable one night, after an evening of dancing with the Indians. Hölzlhuber remembered fondly bidding farewell to one of the Chippewa girls, and buying from the fur trader "some lovely silk ribbon for her pretty black hair." The house and stable can be seen fenced off from four tipis in the encampment. Taken from Hölzlhuber's description of the scene, translated by Vera Kroner. |
