What attracted 19th century travelers to the rugged landscape of Michigans Upper Peninsula? Most travelers had to brave the frigid; gigantic; and the often-perilous Lake Superior to gain entrance to the Upper Peninsula. But although the lake and rugged terrain often made it difficult for travelers to traverse the Upper Peninsula; it also often made travel an adventurous and enjoyable occasion.Lake Superior Country: 19th Century Travel and Tourism to Michigans Upper Peninsula will follow these 19th century travelers; from the explorers in search of land titles and valuable mineral deposits in the early part of the century; to "literary travelers" seeking to witness the romantic region made famous by Henry W. Longfellows poem "The Song of Hiawatha;" to the sportsmen and sportswomen who found a bounty of wildlife and fishing grounds. It will also illustrate the various methods of travel undertaken by these people; from birch bark canoes; to steamers; to the railroads; and how these different methods of travel defined the overall tourist experience.

This just wasnt it...By SueMaybe it was my fault. but I didnt realize that you first had to knit the garment and then. afterwards felt it. I was looking for a book that would have patterns for pieces of felted wool. I have seen items made from sweaters that have been felted in the dryer before they were cut and sewn into bags. etc. Its a nice book if you want to knit the garment large and then felt it afterwards.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. No good for digital devices.By CustomerThis book has some cute ideas. but it is not good for the Kindle app at all. The descriptions and materials are formatted well. but the pattern directions are in a picture box that is so tiny you have to select the photo then zoom in. But when you do that. its blurry. I like to use my tablet to display directions as I knit; this isnt convenient or easy to read. Im glad I bought this on sale. because it is basically useless.
