Mary Gibbs and Itasca's beauty is in the news again!

In the December 6 Star Tribune, Curt Brown connected with Charlie about tracking down Itasca State Park's heroine: 

​

“Mary Gibbs was an amazing woman in step with the times,” said longtime Minnesota folk singer Charlie Maguire. He began researching Gibbs in 1990 when the state commissioned him to write songs about state parks for the 100th birthday of Itasca in 1991. He’s since combed through her 1903 letters and tracked down her descendants in Canada.
