Warblers, wolves, and whirligig beetles-the creatures of the canoe country come alive in Canoe Country Wildlife. In this read-aloud-treasure, "Sparky" Stensaas, naturalist and storyteller, intrigues readers with his tales of meeting the forest inhabitants-from tiny toads to majestic moose. Each page describes these creatures and their habits accurately so you'll know where and when to look for them. Detailed line drawings illustrate each animal clearly so you'll recognize what you're seeing. 
Written for the curious naturalist in each of us, Canoe Country Wildlife takes readers a giant step beyond field guides. It's good reading before, during, and after a trip through canoe country.

Gunflint : Reflections on the Trail

“The best way to get to know Justine Kerfoot would be to explore a northern forest with her. The next best way to know ‘Just’ is on these pages. Here Justine is at her best, sharing with us her romantic and colorful, and sometimes a tad dangerous, life.” —Les Blacklock
Step off the Gunflint Trail, stride to a high point, and savor the view. Only the dark, cool waters and the rugged granite shores interrupt the panorama of the sweeping forest. In this engaging memoir, local pioneer Justine Kerfoot chronicled a year’s worth of experiences and insights while living on the legendary Gunflint Trail. The unique month-by-month chapters of Gunflint and Kerfoot’s rich memories provide a year-round view of a wilderness life that most of us glimpse only in all-too-short weekend interludes.
Justine Kerfoot (1906–2001) lived on Minnesota’s remote Gunflint Trail for more than six decades. She wrote of her adventures and travel in a weekly column for the Cook County News-Herald for forty-five years and is the author of Woman of the Boundary Waters (Minnesota, 1994).
