One of our CAA members forwarded a link to this fascinating old photo (taken on Sept. 23, 1871), which is in the collection at the University of Minnesota’s Kathryn A. Martin Library, in Duluth.

When she sent the image, Vicki wrote, “This stage ran from Superior, Wisconsin, around the bay to Duluth, Minnesota, and on to St. Paul, Minnesota. It was the last stage to do the trip, as the railway had already arrived at the head of the lake (Lake Superior).”

Thanks, Vicki, for alerting us to this great photo!
