From Listening Point (1956):
It would be a fitting place for the fleur-de-lis, for this was a route of the early traders in
fur and no doubt many times in the past they had stopped there to rest after the arduous
trek from Fond du Lac to Lake Vermillion and Basswood some twenty miles to the east. (p. 89)
The point has changed little since those early days, and the silhouettes of the islands and the vistas across the water are much the same as they have always been. I can sit here and
dream of the past, for in the fleur-de lis is a living bridge between the voyageurs and me. (p.93)
You’ve found the hidden easter egg of the
Listening Point Foundation website.
We cannot thank our donors and volunteers enough for the work they do to keep this land and Sigurd’s important conservation work alive.
Please consider donating so we can continue creating fun ways for more people to learn about the incredible impact that Sigurd had on our nation and these beautiful introspective places.
