The St Paul Globe newspaper featured this story on September 9th, 1900. It must have been a slow newsday, and no, great Uncle Math was only 10 years old, so he didn't write it..lol.
Larry found it, of course, and noticed all the familiar names. They're not only familiar from "up home", but from state history. (Looks like some of the hunters were residents of St Paul or Minneapolis and were maybe land speculators too? Ok, it's possible some of the names are familiar to Larry and me only because we're so into Minnesota history). Still, names like Staples, Lindbergh, Hartman, Weyerhauser, Morrison, Newman, and Dr Roy are pretty familiar, no?
It was probably a fairly dangerous weekend to have a picnic anywhere near Little Falls or Pierz.
The story made both Larry and me think of the adventures of our former vice president.

Just in case you want more info about the grouse's mating ritual, watch this, and then the Native American Prairie Chicken Dance competition (yup, that's redundant...lol) .....aren't they both COOL?
We figure the human dance was for the same purpose as the birds dancing. Whatdya think?
