Product Description
Dorothea Mitchell was a Canadian Pioneer of the first order. She did things that pioneering women have always done, but her pioneer experience was made more difficult by the fact that she was a single woman. Unlike other unsung heroines of the early twentieth century, we know of Dorothea's accomplishments because she wrote about them. This collection serves to introduce Dorothea Mitchell as a a latter day Susanna Moodie or Catherine Parr Traill. The contents of this volume are comparable to Parr Traill's The Backwoods of Canada and Moodie's Roughing it in the Bush not only because Dorothea Mitchell is able to describe life as a British immigrant woman on the Canadian frontier, but because she provides a refreshing glimpse at the place of women in Canadian society during the first decades of the twentieth century. Dorothea Mitchell, the "Lady Lumberjack", was a remarkable individual whose accomplishments as a writer and pioneer of women's rights have been largely overlooked. ... Read more

Sure to touch your heart.
Looking for a holiday story that will make you smile? Here's the book you need. A Lumberjack Christmas...Revisited is actually two stories which take place generations apart, but the second tale also provides the first one's real conclusion.

Not long after the Civil War, two young people are headed toward a winter-bound settlement in the Minnesota woods. Martha Tinker is on her way to Sawbill Landing because her mail-order fiance's there, and he's the only person left on earth to whom she has a tie. Physician and war veteran Byron Ferguson has been called in to treat the victims of a mysterious epidemic. Even without that complication, the Landing in December would be no place for a lady - especially not a Boston-reared one with a finishing school education. But Martha's father was a doctor...and her faith makes her a whole lot tougher than she looks.

Fast forward to the present. The descendants of people we've met before, in now-abandoned Sawbill Landing, live in a nearby town. They've got their own set of troubles, and they need a Christmas miracle. Or should that be miracles? Once again, faith and love work magic. And once again, as she's done in both installments of her Patrick and Grace mystery series, Janet Elaine Smith breathes life into an elderly couple whose romance is sure to touch your heart.

Wonderful holiday stories!
I ordered just because the cover was so beautiful and put me in the holiday mood--but both stories inside were great reads! I'll read this author again!!

Product Description
Deep in the forest along Lake Michigan's Manistique River, a simple wooden grave marker reads, "John Horn-April 1897." Why is it there? Who was John Horn? More than 100 years ago, Manistique was a booming lumber town owned by the Chicago Lumbering Company. Thousands of immigrants worked there, some living in company homes, some in the logging camps. Steamers docked daily at the busy Manistique Harbor, met by a local Indian chief, Ossawinamakee. Into this town came John Horn. Step back in time to the late 1800s where you will meet John Horn and the woman he loves, Lily, the preacher's daughter, the girl with the moon in her eyes. You'll also meet Moonwater, John's sister and owner of Ravenwood, a boarding house shunned by the townspeople. Meet their nemesis, a fur trader with a mangled hand and surprising identity. Come take a walk through the streets of a logging town and the deep Michigan forests where you'll meet Bittenear, and where you will want to visit time and again. This is one adventurous historical love story you will not want to miss. ... Read more
