"On 20 September 1870, I reached Brainerd, the beautiful city of pines, consisting at that time of one small frame building (used as a townsite office by Lyman P. White as agent for the Lake Superior and Puget Sound Land Company) and numerous tents and lean-tos constructed with a piece of two-by-six nailed to two trees, and new boards with slab battens. One of these was my first resting place on my arrival from Crow Wing, which city I reached from Sauk Rapids by stage. From Crow Wing I proceeded by foot, via the Leech Lake trail, to the Frenchman's Crossing, six miles west of Brainerd. There I was told to follow the grade stakes by which the surveyors had marked the trail. I followed these stakes until I came to the hill where the Northern Pacific Hospital later was located. I could see all the tents over on the other side of the river, but thought it would be a pretty good swim to get across. After looking around a little, I saw a fellow pulling a wanigan with a rope, so I crossed the river on that ferry. The first thing which attracted my attention upon reaching the east bank of the river was my father's coat hanging on one of the outer corners of a little lean-to. Depositing my "luggage," I began to make my way to the top of the river bank, where I could hear numerous hammers and saws at work, and at the first building at the top of the hill, I found my father, in charge of the construction of a building for Fuller and Huestis. That building still stands; it is the old Indian trading post, and has been used for fifty-two years as saloon, hotel, trading post, and dwelling. Hundreds of carloads of blueberries, and tons and tons of deer saddles passed through its doors during the many years when James Hallett had it as a trading post. This was the first frame commercial building in the growing city." (I. U. "Dad" White.)
