More Bustie Area Information & Photos
The following are publications and writings that I have gathered from settlers or longtime residents of the
Effie-Bigfork-Bustitown areas of Itasca County, Minnesota. I have also included writings and news articles
from Norway. I have permission to share some of these writings. In the cases where I do not, I have
scanned the front cover of those publications. Some of these publications are very difficult to find. I would be
happy to loan these to anyone wishing to read them. The publications and writings describe in detail the
early settlement of the Effie - Bigfork - Bustietown - Evergreen areas of Itasca County. You may contact me
