The Great Lakes: A Literary Field Guide (Stories from Where We Live)

The Great Lakes, including Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, are a natural wonder with a rich history shaped by glaciers. The region has been home to native American nations, explorers, loggers, farmers, and visitors who enjoy fishing, boating, and hunting. This beautifully-illustrated book offers stories, poems, essays, and historical accounts of the region's natural heritage. Readers can meet an Ojibwe girl, hunt rare plants in Indiana, work on an organic farm, and witness the Aurora Borealis from Michigan's high dunes. This features adventures such as crossing an ice bridge above Niagara Falls in 1899 and sailing on the schooner "Rouse Simmons" in 1912.
