Rainy River Lives is the long-lost collection of stories of Ojibwe men and women as told by a hitherto unpublished, traditional Ojibwe storyteller, Maggie Wilson (1879–1940). Wilson lived on the Manitou Rapids Reserve on the Rainy River, which flows along the Ontario-Minnesota border. When anthropologist Ruth Landes arrived at Rainy River to conduct her doctoral research in 1932, Wilson often worked with the young scholar, telling her many stories. Their relationship continued after Landes returned to Columbia University. During the following decades, however, the letters and stories Wilson had sent Landes, which Landes had carefully collected, were lost. Only recently were they discovered in the basement of the Smithsonian Institution, where they had been misfiled with papers of another anthropologist. This rich set of narratives takes us inside the intimate world of Ojibwe families at the turn of the twentieth century, a time of great upheaval when the Ojibwes were being relocated onto reserves and required by the government to abandon their seasonal migrations and subsistence activities. These remarkably detailed stories of ordinary Native people, precisely through their everyday character, reveal much about Ojibwe cultural beliefs and paint a nuanced ethnographic portrait of Ojibwe life. In the distinctive voice of an exceptional and highly creative individual, the stories address both the culturally specific world of the Ojibwes and universal human themes of love, loss, and perseverance.

Wherever you lived in 1906, when you read the newspapers, you found sensational reports about Cobalt, the silver mining boomtown in Northern Ontario. Everyone was talking about the spectacular mineral riches. People from around the globe descended on the frontier town to work, to invest, to take advantage of opportunity for a new life.\nCaroline Maben Flower, a wealthy New York socialite, most certainly read the news. She came to Cobalt on doctor’s orders to rest in the countryside. He suggested a fashionable resort in the Adirondacks. Why would she come to a dirty, noisy, frontier town instead?\nTo start over.\nBorn on a farm in the Midwest, Caroline took to the piano as a girl. With family support, she travelled to Berlin for additional musical training, aspiring to perform for the social elite in Manhattan.\nCreative, perceptive, and fiercely independent, she modelled herself after the rising stars of the day and set out to achieve her goals with a single-minded determination.\nCaroline conquered any barriers she encountered, whether it was poverty, chauvinism, or towering mountains.\nHer relationships with men were passionate and tempestuous, neither traditional nor long-lasting. And therein was the challenge. Marriage solved several problems while creating many more.\nShe made mistakes, some driven by desperation, greed or impulsiveness. One terrible lapse was the turning point that led to an abrupt change in course, from Manhattan to the mining camps in Northern Ontario.\nWhen she arrived in Cobalt, Caroline noted how the men made their fortunes at mining. She reckoned, if they could do it, so could she! Never one to let roadblocks stop her, she shouldered a pickaxe and set out to build a mine.\nJust as she did with her music career, Caroline promoted herself and built a brand. In Cobalt, and later in the goldfields of the Porcupine, she traded on one notable asset: the fact that she was the only woman in the mining game.\nThis is her story, The Legend of Caroline Maben Flower, Lady Prospector of the Porcupine.
