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.Weber, Brenda is the author of 'John Horn Legend of a Lumberjack' with ISBN 9781413752113 and ISBN 141375211X.
