Around
the Shores of Lake Superior
A Guide to Historic Sites
Second Edition
Margaret Beattie Bogue
An ideal trip planner and a unique historical
guide to the Lake Superior region
With its rugged shoreline and deep, cold
waters, Lake Superior offers exciting opportunities for travel,
exploration, and enjoyment. From the Grand Sable Dunes and Apostle
Islands of the south shore to mountain-studded St. Ignace Island
and majestic Thunder Cape on the north, the lake is deeply ingrained
in North America's cultural and environmental heritage.
Around the Shores of Lake Superior is an ideal trip planner
and a unique guide to the region. As author Margaret Beattie
Bogue follows the Lake Superior shoreline clockwise through Minnesota,
Ontario, Michigan, and Wisconsin, she evokes the richness of
local history and highlights hundreds of landmarks and points
of interest that surround the lake. Grand Portage, Fort William
Historical Park, the Agawa Canyon Pictographs, Isle Royale, and
the Pictured Rocks and Apostle Islands National Lakeshores are
just a few of the many sites featured, each with a short descriptive
history, directions, and contact information. In keeping with
the guide's easy-to-follow organization, all sites are keyed
to a foldout map pocketed in the book's back cover.
This book also includes illuminating
essays that give context to the natural and human history of
the region—the Ojibwe presence, French exploration, industry
on and around the lake, and the impact of this history on the
natural environment. With more than 200 color and black-and-white
images, this updated and greatly expanded second edition will
enrich the appreciation of the region for both visitors and residents
of the upper Great Lakes.
"A fascinating overview of the growth
of this region's cultural and industrial heritage and the hundreds
of sites, museums, and attractions that commemorate this history
today."
—Sergio Buonocore, General Manager, Fort William
Historical Park, Ontario
