Not just for Yoopers

Being a yooper growing up in the central upper penninsula of Michigan and working in the woods with my father as a young man I found this book very interesting. Anderson puts you in the forest in the days when virgin white pine covered the land on the west side of the U.P. She intimately describes the feeling of living in harmony with nature among the animals and lumberjacks while describing the hard labor of felling and skidding out timber with crosscut saws, big wheels, oxen and horses. I picked this book up in hard cover first edition copyright 1951 at an antique store in Republic, Michigan where we have a cabin and spend our summers. I found myself researching the town of Tula to find a photo of a lone log cabin standing. It was one of the best books I have ever read which places you in a time long gone. Her own insights were wonderfully written and her illustrations added to the her ability of placing you at the camps in Tula.
