The author's interest in the Indian culture developed early. Growing up in a small northern Minnesota town adjacent to an Ojibwe reservation, the author obtained an engineering degree from the University of Minnesota, and after a short army tour spent the next 32 years in the computer industry; largely in the Minneapolis area. Following retirement, for his own entertainment he began to delve into that 'fog-shrouded' period when the Ojibwe first arrived in Minnesota; the result is this story of the Ojibwe-Dakota conflict for control of the Mississippi headwaters, told in a mixture of history, legend, and historical fiction.
