Brule River Forest and Lake Superior: Cloverland Anecdotes



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.
