Mention of Treasure in Sleepers History
Thanks Rattlesnake Gal,
Tucked in with the history from Sleepers was this mention of Treasure Island:
A camp had been established on Treasure Is. called "Camp Mishe Mokwa" (the name for "great white bear" in Hiawatha) and it operated as a boys camp between 1913 and 1950. In 1950, the island was sold to the Girl Scouts of America and it operated as a Girl Scout camp for about ten years. During this time, Ivar Swenson (owner of Sleepers at this time) engineered a power cable for Treasure Is. After the cable was installed, Ivar was made an honorary Girl Scout!
I would definitely be interested in any more mentions of Treasure, Red Head, Red Hand, etc. that you might come across!
