Through a selection of talented writers and photographers, the North is embodied in the stories and photographs of the pursuit of albino deer in the central woods of Wisconsin, of the lifelong search to encounter a moose in the wilds of northern Minnesota, of one family’s half century old tradition of fishing in Ontario, of trailing timber rattlesnakes in the Mississippi River bluffs in southeastern Minnesota, and in many others. Each of the artist’s chapters offers a dramatic perspective of the region we love—each of them welcoming us North.
