On the far Northern border of Dundee Wisconsin, a small Scout Camp was founded in 1946 and a legend was born. This camp was named Long Lake, after the lake upon which it resides, and it would experience its fair share of storms and turmoil over the ensuing years.

To me however, I have always had a love hate relationship with its wooded trails and murky waters, yet I shall always cherish my memories of it in my heart. Regardless, Camp Long Lake is still one of my favorite places to visit with its quaint ecology conservation lodge, the various activities its main waterfront has to offer, and the thrills of sleeping
The attack at Fort Mystic in May of 1637 is something that I will never forget. On that day, my tribe in Mystic fort was attacked by the colonists and their allies. At dawn, they approached undetected and fired at us while we were sleeping. They came in through both entrances into the fort and surrounded us. We were not prepared and had no chance to fight back from our attackers and were shot on site if we tried to leave. I was one of the few who were able to get out alive. I was captured as I made my way out of the village taken prisoner by the colonists and their allies.
