CHARLES S. KELLY:
An Inventory of His Namakan Lake and Surrounding Areas Photograph Collection at the Minnesota Historical Society
Sound and Visual Collection
OVERVIEW
| Creator: | Kelly, Charles Scott, 1899-1987, compiler. | |
| Title: | Views of Namakan Lake and surrounding areas | |
| Dates: | 1925. | |
| Abstract: | The collection includes views of the Namakan River, Namakan Lake, and Rainy Lake showing general views as well as canoeing and fishing activities in the area. Photographs were donated by Charles A. Kelly, son of Charles S. Kelly who owned the photographs. The images are theorized to have been used to illustrate lake levels at the time as they were within a file related to a fight against Edward W. Backus that was not donated. The photographer is unknown as images were mistakenly attributed to Ernest Oberholtzer, but the Oberholtzer Foundation determined they were not his. | |

| Location: | I.475: See Detailed Description for shelf locations. |
