Richard D. Cornell traveled the Chippewa River from its two sources south of Ashland to where it joins the Mississippi. In repeated visits over several decades, Cornell learned the stories of the Chippewa and its valley, from the Ojibwe and early fur traders and lumbermen to the varied and hopeful communities of today. Through his conversations with ordinary people and local historians, he gets at the heart of the Chippewa and shares a history of the river that is both one of a kind and deeply personal.
