[Magdalen] A Cranberry at Heart.

Surfing through some stuff today I came upon this blurb about my 
home town in Wisconsin:
 
 
GRANTSBURG -- The Indian name was  "Kitchi-Maski-gimi-nika-ning" meaning 
"at the great cranberry place."   Canute Anderson came to this area in 1851 
and established the first post office  which was in his home.  He later built 
a sawmill and laid out the village  site, naming it after General Ulysses S. 
Grant who was popular at the time  because of his victory in the Battle of 
Vicksburg. Grantsburg is located in  Grantsburg Township.
 
 
I've  always liked cranberries, and my grandfather fought in the
Battle  of Vicksburg.
 
 
David  Strang - From Kitchi-Maski-gimi-nika-ning which is
certainly  a lot more fun than Grantsburg.
