Commentary: Blazing a trail through Minnesota to the 1964 Wilderness Act
Published: , in Outdoor News
A band of Minnesotans was instrumental in blazing the trail that led to passage of the Wilderness Act on Sept. 3, 1964, now six decades ago.
That path cut through the Land of 10,000 Lakes, with the effort beginning in the early 1920s and threading through Minneapolis, Ely, and into the Superior National Forest to what would be named the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, now the nation’s most visited wilderness area.
