Brule River Forest and Lake Superior: Cloverland Anecdotes by Jane Pearson Grimsrud
This is a real life story from the
shores of western Lake Superior that will bring laughter, a tear, and stimulate
strong emotions.
Meet the people who spent their
lifetimes on this frontier witnessing the Indian and voyager era surrender to
lumberjack and timber barons as European immigrants flooded in conveyed by
railroads and steamships. Then observe the rest of the story of those pioneers
who built the American dream.
From the author’s archived personal
correspondence and diaries, the foundation for this book was laid. It is laced
with anecdotes and cynical humor that will carry the reader along at a pleasant
pace.
