Description:
For half a century Sutter has been exploring the backroads, trails, and lakes of the North, penning reports of otters, moose, and the music of bobolinks. He has also found beauty in the environs of his home above Lake Superior. He shares the best of those experiences here, captured in old-fashioned verse.
