Summary

"Linking the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, the Fox River has been a vital resource to people for thousands of years. The Upper Fox River, slow moving and shallower than its lower waters, provided food, travel routes, and inspiration to Indians, explorers, fur traders and then settlers. In celebration of the river, the Portage Historical Society, Montello Historic Preservation Society, and the Marquette Historical Society assembled this book that offers up just some of the many stories of life on the Upper Fox River over the years. Enjoy and write your own stories on the Upper Fox." -- Back cover
