Book excerpt: Cass County is flanked on its eastern border by the Red River of the North. Created by retreating glaciers, Cass County is known for its exceptionally flat topography and fertile soils. Archaeological evidence indicates that the county was home to Paleo-Indian groups as far back as 9,000 years ago. More recently, many different Native American nations foraged and hunted bison in the region. Dakota Territory was created in 1861, and Cass County was organized in 1873 with Fargo recognized as the county seat in 1875. The county is named for George Washington Cass, a former president of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which entered the county in 1872. Cass County is famous for agriculture and its bonanza farms, enormous commercial wheat farms unique to the Red River valley from the 1870s to the 1890s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1849, the Leech Lake Agency for the Ojibwa peoples was established southwest of Agency Bay on Leech Lake. A government trail wound its way north through the wilderness from Fort Ripley to the agency. The establishment of this trail encouraged exploration and settlement of the area that became Cass County. Fur traders, explorers, and missionaries were followed by the lumber industry. The Ojibwas ceded their lands, which went up for public auction in the 1870s, and the logging companies purchased thousands of acres of these lands. By 1895, the Minnesota Logging Company was in the northern part of the county and built the Brainerd, Northern and Minnesota Railroad, which was sold to the Minnesota and International, which was the first railroad in Cass County. Small towns were platted out by town site companies and quickly settled by immigrants and others seeking new opportunities. Cass County presently has 15 villages and 50 townships. Tourism was first introduced into the county when a trainload of 300 tourists from St. Cloud arrived for a weekend of fishing on Leech Lake. Tourism is the countys number one industry today.

UZZIEL PUTNAM, Sr. Uzziel Putnam, Sr., the first white settler of Cass County, was born in Wardsborough, Vermont, March 17th, 1793, when three years old his parents moved to Oneida County, New York, and again in five years afterward moved to New Salem, Massachusetts, where they remained until 1806, when they removed back to Jefferson County, New York. In the fall of 1811 they came to Detroit, where they remained during the winter of 1811 and 1812, in the spring going to what is now Sandusky City, Ohio. On the 19th of October, 1812, young Putnam entered the United States service as teamster, enlisting for three months, but continued in the service until after the defeat of General Winchester, when he was discharged and paid. He afterward received a land warrant in addition for his services. In 1822 he was married to Anna Chapman, of Sandusky County, Ohio, and on the 7th day of May, 1825, started for Michigan in company with Abram Townsend and Israel Markam. Putnam obtained his first information of the St. Joseph Country from an Indian trader, named Parker, who had been here previous, but having some trouble with the Indians, had to leave. They followed up the Sandusky River to the mouth of Nigger Creek, from thence they crossed over the country to the St. Mary's River, which, at this time, was very high from long continued rains making it impossible to proceed farther with the loaded team. A council was held and they determined to build a boat, which was done by the party with the assistance of an Indian, the material used was elm bark, when completed and launched on the river, it was loaded with all the luggage of the wagon, except what was absolutely necessary for the use of the. family, and floated down the river to...
