White Pine Days on the Taquemenon (28)

White Pine Days On the Taquamenon
William Daveport Hulbert
Read 9/23/09

This book was written over 100 years ago, by a gentlemen that lived in the Taquamenon area, and whose family owned a timber business. He has wonderful stories about the people and the business and timber cruising. But what comes across all his stories are the beauty of nature and the area in the U.P. He has wonderful descriptions of the area. I read this book because we were going to Tahquamenon area camping and after reading this book (again) it is still as true today. It is a beautiful area and this book is a great way to experience it.
The book itself was published about 60 years ago by the Michigan Historical Society and is no longer in print. I was able to find a nice copy on Amazon for $35, and I was happy to have it in my collection of books of Michigan.
