Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-18 00:00:00 Lavern Mcdilda A Minnesota cousin sent this to me as an intro to one style of life in this wonderful state I'm just becoming acquainted with. It's a collection of newspaper columns Kerfoot wrote for a Grand Marais newspaper on life along the Gunflint Trail in the far north Boundary Waters area. The stories are a testament to the rugged individuals who choose to be surrounded by nature and wilderness. I laughed aloud at retellings of bears carrying away sacks of seeds or flour from people's porches, but am put off by even the vague descriptions of trapping. I don't consider myself a city girl but neither am I a woman who could ever have chosen this lifestyle.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-14 00:00:00 Michael Majewski I love finding great local authors who have written about my favorite destinations. Kerfoot's work is a combination of essays and selections she wrote for many years for the local paper. She lived on the Gunflint Trail for 60 years, so she has some remarkable tales to tell. The book is filled with local history and reflections on nature. Her prose is simple and almost poetic. Organized by the months of the calendar, it is possible to pick this up at any time and find a meaningful reflection.
