Reviews for The Singing Wilderness

Review - Singing Wilderness, The

I spent time during most of the summers and many of the Christmas vacations of my youth and young adulthood in Northern Wisconsin, and loved every minute of it. The Quetico-Superior is further north and wilder, but the sounds and smells Olson describes are the same and bring back memories of wonderful times of wandering.
