| Synopsis: |
This is an eagerly awaited new edition of a classic book that offers memories, myths, and meanings of the largest contiguous piece of wild area in Michigan's "Lower Peninsula". The Pigeon River Country is a remote and beautiful forest in Northern Michigan. Ecologically distinct from most of the United States, the Pigeon River Country has a unique and storied past. Dale Clarke Franz has collected personal accounts from various people who have called the Pigeon River Country their home - including loggers, conservationists, mill workers, campers, and even Ernest Hemingway, who said he loved the forest "better than anything in the world." There are also comprehensive discussions of the area's flora and fauna, guides to the trails and camping sites, and a photo section showcasing the evolving face of this hidden national treasure. This updated edition examines why the outdoors attracts us. It considers life beyond the boundaries of this Michigan forest, yet is steeped in the specifics of a place that lives mostly on its own terms instead of ours. |
