This photo, taken in August 1940, shows the construction of a cabin on Clearwater Lake by Charlie Boostrom. The Boostrom family knows that Charlie Boostrom built his first cabin in 1913 on Moon Lake. And they know that Charlie built Clearwater Lodge in 1925, as well as many other log cabins and rock fireplaces in the Gunflint Trail/Grand Marais area. The family is trying to compile a list of those cabins and fireplaces. Do you know of a structure or fireplace that Charlie built? If so, contact Oz and Linda Twedt at (218) 388- 2247. Any leads to help compile this bit of Cook County history would be appreciated.
