Publisher's Synopsis
"Mixes natural science and geology into history where those aspects intersect with the lives of people or are the reason the Upper Peninsula developed the way it did. The 27 stories each present a different fictional point-of-view including trees, rocks, rivers and artifacts-among them a ship's bell, a lighthouse, a cross-cut saw, beads and rings, an airplane propeller, etc. Eras from 1600 A.D. to post-modern are included"--.
