Ernest Carl Oberholtzer was a central figure in the struggle to preserve the wilderness areas of the Minnesota-Ontario border, as well as an important advocate for the creation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.

Oberholtzer's photos and journal entries capture the spirit of the wild places that he loved and admired.
