HUMOR FINALIST - Foreword
Magazine Chambers of Commerce won't be giving away this book any
time soon! A high-spirited, humorous look at a special land,
and the challenges of living in a remote area with more
trees than people, long winters and two-track roads.
Visitors are warned about the climate, insects, wildlife,
local residents and other potential "dangers." In a more
serious epilogue, the author asks that visitors tread gently
on the land and fold themselves into the Upper Peninsula way
of life that its residents hold dear. About the author: Lon Emerick is a retired university
professor and a fifth-generation descendant of Cornish
copper miners in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. After becoming
well known as a writer of several books on the region's
charms, he became alarmed about the impact he might be
having on luring folks to his beloved U.P. When he found
notes left by Sam Satterly in his deer hunting blind (or so
he claims), he realized his responsibility to warn
unsuspecting visitors and potential residents of what they
would find when coming to this far north region "above the
bridge." Black/white illustrations, map. 5 1/2 x 8
