Title: A classic Upper Peninsula logging memoir, now amply illustrated
Review: First-hand accounts of the dramatic "big cut" by participant-observers are always illuminating. William S. Crowe's reminiscence of his years in the woods and the early days of Manistique, at the north end of Lake Michigan in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, was a classic in the 1950s. His granddaughters Lynn McGlothin Emerick and Ann McGlothin Weller have done a real service by republishing his book with ample photos and notes. Their book led to a WNMU public TV special and DVD on Upper Peninsula logging. Its success inspired and helped fund subsequent public TV productions on other aspects of U.P. history. These specials help preserve and disseminate stories of that distinctive corner of American landscape and culture.
