THE EARLIEST DAYS
Early explorers traversed Northern Pine County, learning about the new world and interacting with native people. Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du L’hut, left his mark on a boulder in a forest east of Askov. The name Du Luth
and date 1679,

Books like this one would not be possible without the photographers of the past who recorded their world on film. In this 1910 photograph, Philip Hansen was preparing his camera to capture a scene on the Kettle River near Sandstone.
William Poole was another Northern Pine County photographer who took countless pictures and contributed to the preservation of the area’s history. Poole owned two photograph galleries in Pine City and even traveled through Minnesota in a photo wagon.
Bill Bantleon, a Pine City barber, was an amateur photographer, a rarity in the age before cameras were common in every home. He was quite the character with his red bow tie, red suspenders, and pompadour hairstyle.
Ross Daniels was a Sandstone photographer for many years. He specialized in postcards and seemed to have a knack for setting up his camera at just the right moment to capture exciting events, including the 1909 Sandstone school fire. This photograph was taken at Daniels’s Pine City studio.
The Anishinabeg people, today called the Ojibway, have lived in Northern Pine County for hundreds of years. Their traditional name means spontaneous or original people
