Diaires of an Isle Royale Fisherman

Reproductions of the journals and correspondence of A A collection of the diaries and letters of Elling Seglem, who fished the waters of Lake Superior from Isle Royale between 1920 and 1932. A photographer during the winter, Seglem was extremely creative in designing and illustrating newspaper-format letters home to his family in Chicago.

In his letters and journals, Seglem tells of the hard work and pleasures of the simple life on this isolated island. His sense of humor and attention to detail make his writing a delight to read.

Lots of historic photographs, drawings, and cartoons.
