Tor Loken and the Death of Namakagon
by James A. Brakken
According to mid-1880s articles found in the Ashland Daily Press, Chief Namakagon traded unrefined silver for supplies and services in Ashland. Several area businessmen tried to convince the chief to disclose the source of his silver. None did, although one, it’s been said, came very close. But, when a large bear blocked their trail, Namakagon took this for an omen and refused to continue. Following a fierce 1886 blizzard, Namakagon’s frozen remains were found along a trail that many believe may have been very near his silver cache. Suspicions remain today regarding his demise and of the whereabouts of the lost silver.
In the next adventure, Tor Loken loses his mentor during this fierce snow-storm. The authorities refuse to investigate and Tor is challenged to solve the mystery of Chief Namakagon’s death. Meanwhile, new developments, both man-made and nature-made, again place the Loken camp in peril. Learn more about the rich history of the lumberjack days, help solve the mystery, and gather more clues about the likely location of the legendary silver mine of Chief Namakagon.
