More Bustie Area Information & Photos
For the most part, the following are publications or writings by settlers or longtime
residents of the Effie-Bigfork-Bustitown areas of Itasca County, Minnesota. I have
also included news articles from Norway. I have permission to share some of these
writings. In some cases I do not. I have scanned the front cover of those
publications in the event that you may want search for. 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
