The National Park Service has information on the Saint Croix River
including a wonderful history book completely online.
�An overview history of the area where St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
exists today was commissioned by the park and completed in 2002. The
document Time and the River: A History of the St. Croix River was written
by Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski. While it is not a complete
history of the area, it provides an overview that the park hopes will be built
upon in future years. The document is long (3130KB), but we hope
informative for those wishing to know more about this area of Wisconsin and
Minnesota.�
