The history of these place names was interesting. How helpful to have a Dakota collaborator to make the important discovery about The Rock. And it is interesting to contemplate the Lone Tree as a nod to Manifest Destiny. Fascinating essay.
Thanks, Jill. Avery tells me that some of our names are actually Algonquin words and that provides a tie to Lake of the Woods....at least from the standpoint of linguistics!
