Notes:
- The story of this region unfolds through five interconnected areas of Minnesota’s North Shore watershed–the meandering rivers of the Headwaters, the deep and dense forest of the Highlands, the rocky Nearshore, the drama of Lake Superior, and its mysterious islands, including the Isle Royale and Susie Island archipelagos. Each section begins with an overview of the forces that have shaped the area, then the focus turns to specific inhabitants — Provided by publisher.
- Includes bibliographical references and index.
