On the Water On the AT A GLANCE

Sauk Centre offers the best in water recreation, whether it is canoeing down the Sauk River, tubing or water skiing on Fairy Lake, or fishing for bass and walleye on Sauk Lake.

Not many small towns can offer such a variety of options for lake enthusiasts. Fairy Lake is home of Fairy Lake Beach and Lions Park and is a popular spot for beach goers, water skiers and jet skiers. The fishing isn’t too shabby either and produces panfish, walleye and northern.

The Sauk River is located below the dam in Sauk Centre and is a popular spot for anglers as well as canoers.

And then there is Sauk Lake, one of the best bass lakes in Minnesota. Every year trophy-sized bass are caught on Sauk Lake, which is home to an every-other-year bass fishing tournament.

But bass isn’t the only species this large body of water produces. The lake is also a good panfish lake with a good crappie and sunfish bite.

The crappies are especially strong in the winter months, and Sauk Lake is a popular spot for anglers to plant their ice shacks. The walleye bite has also improved thanks to a stocking effort several years ago. And, there are plenty of trophy northern swimming along the channels. It is not uncommon for an angler to pull a 15- to 20-pound fish out of the Sauk Lake waters.

There are several resorts on Sauk Lake that are clean, affordable and friendly. So, if you are planning a vacation where you’d like to have the best of recreation and angling, Sauk Centre is the place to be.

ABOUT Sinclair Lewis

Five Interesting Facts

By Neely Simpson, Writer

1.) Thirteen-year-old runaway: When he was 13, Sinclair Lewis ran away from home with hopes of joining the Spanish-American War as a drummer boy. His plans were foiled when his father caught him at the train station and made him come home.

2.) Plot Dealer: While a student at Yale, Lewis met Jack London who had come to lecture on socialism. Gifted at devising creative plots, Lewis sold 14 short story ideas to London in 1910 for the price of $70. One of those plots became London’s unfinished novel, “The Assassination Bureau, Ltd.”

3.) Two-time Spouse of Successful Career Women: Sinclair Lewis was married twice and divorced twice. In 1914, he married Grace Livingston Hegger, an editor for “Vogue Magazine.” The two met in an elevator in the New York office building in which they both worked. At the time, Lewis was working for Stokes Publishing Company, which had its offices a few floors below the Vogue offices. The couple had one son together, Wells Lewis. However, they separated in 1925 and divorced in 1928.

In May of 1928, Lewis married well-known journalist, Dorothy Thompson, who led the Berlin bureau of the New York Post. She was staunchly anti-Hitler and has the distinction of being the first American journalist expelled from Germany, an order given by Hitler himself. In 1939, she appeared on the cover of “Time” magazine, which named her one of the two most influential women in America, the other being Eleanor Roosevelt. Lewis and Thompson had one son together, Michael Lewis, but the two divorced in 1942.

4.) Father of a Decorated War Hero: Lewis’s son, Wells Lewis, who was named after H.G. Wells, was killed in action during World War II. After graduating from Harvard - where during his senior year he wrote a well-received novel titled, “They Still Say No” - Wells Lewis enlisted in the Army a year before the U.S. entered World War II. He served in active combat in Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy before coming under the command of Major General John Dahlquist in France, where he served as Dahlquist’s personal aide. During his military service, he achieved the rank of first lieutenant and earned both a silver star and a bronze star. On Oct. 29, 1944, just south of Paris, he was shot by a sniper and died instantly, collapsing into the arms of Major General Dahlquist.

5.) Declined the Pulitzer, Accepted the Nobel: In 1930, Sinclair Lewis was the first American to be awarded a Nobel Prize for literature. The Prize was given to him for the five noteworthy novels he wrote during the 1920s, “Main Street,” “Babbitt,” “Arrowsmith,” “Elmer Gantry,” and “Dodsworth.” In 1926, Lewis’s novel, “Arrowsmith,” was awarded a Pulitzer Prize; however, he declined the Prize, saying he didn’t approve of contests in which one author was deemed better than another. When asked why he was willing to accept the Nobel Prize, but not the Pulitzer, he said it was because the Nobel was much less commercial and was awarded based on the merit of a career rather than a single book.

end

Despite his long and successful career as a great American novelist, Sinclair Lewis ended his life much like he started it: lonely. With failing health, he was surrounded mostly by secretaries he’d hired as companions. He died on Jan. 10, 1951 in Rome from complications of the alcoholism with which he’d struggled most of his life. His last novel, “World So Wide,” was published posthumously.

The Sinclair Lewis Boyhood The Sinclair Lewis Home

NEW: “Becoming Sinclair Lewis,” a new biography of Lewis, is available on Amazon NEW: “The Life and Loves of Sinclair Lewis” depicts the rollercoaster ride of his career. Go to www.sinclairlewisfoundation.org for more details.

Sinclair Lewis’ boyhood home, located at 810 Sinclair Lewis Ave., has been restored with antiques appropriate to the period. Many rooms contain items that belonged to the Lewis family. The home will be open for tours the summer of 2023.
