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.

Midwest Outdoor News

The first thing you notice when you open the book North is the stunning photography. Brilliant outdoor photos accompany all seven stories by authors expressing what "North" means to them. With a forward by Ron Schara, this book is sure to capture your attention, take you on a journey and help define what North means to you.

Beginning the journey is a poem about the magic of the Boundary Waters. The imagery along with the black and white photos capture the essence of the northern experience – the water, the wilderness and the wildlife. Then comes a charming story of one man’s lifelong dream of encountering a moose in the wilderness. Growing up listening to his grandfather’s tales of these magnificent creatures instilled in him a need to see this "Northwoods icon" for himself. But before he was successful at discovering a moose, he found he had successfully discovered a whole lot more. Next is a collection of photos that capture the amazing beauty of the sky that many of us have enjoyed while hunting or fishing. Following these breathtaking photos is Those Four Days, a touching story of a boy becoming a man with the help of his family’s fifty-year tradition of fishing trips to Lake of the Woods. During those fishing trips a special bond was formed between him and his dad – a bond so many of us can identify with. Then we get to accompany a wildlife researcher as he looks for timber rattlesnakes along the bluffs of the Mississippi River Valley of southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Again, this captivating story is filled with incredible close-up photos of these awesome animals. White Deer, Spirit Deer takes us to the woods of northern Wisconsin in pursuit of photographing the rare and elusive albino deer. The writer takes us along as he experiences the thrill of capturing on film some of the magic of these white deer. And finally we get to take a delightful and historic tour of some of the lighthouses of the Great Lakes.

North is thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. It's a perfect coffee table book for the cabin or the city home – anywhere you want to sit back, relax and take a journey North.
