Cutting Across Time

John Schroeder was a successful parent, church leader and business person. Historical records of his community, church and family attest to that fact. As time passes, the depth of written history is often made more intense and personal due to the work of those who search for stories and facts found in personal accounts, letters, diaries and newspapers. The intent of this book is to use the story of John Schroeder to look at the places and events involved in logging around Lake Superior at the turn of the 20th century.
