• “As I have already stated the wild rice grew very high in the lake and covered the entire surface with a growth so thick and so high that it was with great difficulty that a canoe even could be pushed through it. One Sunday in the fall of the year, in 1845, I think it was, when the rice was from five to six feet high above the water, my brother, Oscar, and my cousin, Horace Chapman, that was visiting us, and myself, made a trip into the lake some distance with these boats lashed together, and we thought we would go to the old log house which was once occupied by Thebault (Tebo). The rice in the lake was so thick and heavy we could make but little progress, and finally when about one mile from shore where the house was, we conceived the idea of taking the boats apart and leaving the skiff till our return, sticking down a pole with a little flag tied to it so we could see where it was.”
