With this word, I shall introduce a party of three--a clergyman, a wrestler of hardware, and an editor--who, believing firmly in the above-stated theory, made an "exploration" into the then wild region (1879) toward the headwaters of the St. Croix river, and one of its principal tributaries, the Clam river--which latter we navigated from its south-fork source to its intersection with its north fork, thence its whole length to where it joined the upper St. Croix--from the east, or Wisconsin side--thence down the latter, beside a partial ascent of the Kettle river, one of its tributaries from the west. The party consisted of the Rev. C. H. Plummer (rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church), Will. J. Richardson, an...
