Remote and rugged, Michigan's Upper Peninsula has been home to a rich variety of indigenous peoples and Old World immigrants. This book presents and ponders the folk narratives of the region's loggers, miners, lake sailors, trappers, and townfolk.

Trade Review
An important re-introduction of an American folklore classic. - Carl Lindahl, University of Houston ""A collection of traditions, tales, superstitions, practices, and folk biographies that range from the slyly humorous to the bawdy.... These are human beings, a folk, not sitting for a portrait, but caught alive as it were in fine amber, a permanent possession."" - Thelma G. James, Journal of American Folklore
