SUPERIOR: THE HAUNTED SHORE Hard to Find Out of Print Book by Bruce Littlejon and Wayland Drew A Classic Collector's Book Over 100 Top Quality Colour Photographs When it was originall published in 1975, Superior: The Haunted Shore earned high praise for its superb photography and elegant text. As copies became scarce and the book went out of print, it made its way into the hands of fine book collectors, who treasured it as an example of high quality book making. Now this outstanding book is available again, in an expensive paperback that preserves the excellent standard of the original volume. Every summer thousands of travellers journey northward from Sault Ste. Marie, following the old route of the fur trade canoes past Batchawana, Agawa, and Michipicoten westward to the Pic River, west again past Nipigon and Thunder Bay, then south across the border to Grand Portage. Those who have travelled these 450 miles of Superior's north shore are already acquainted with the splendour of the region, and with its dramatic contrasts. As they travelled mainly by canoe along the north shore of Superior, Bruce Littlejohn and Wayland Drew found two of these contrasts especially haunting, and these recur as themes throughout the book. The first is the co-existence of power and fragility - of the immensity of landscape opposed to the astonishing resiliency of delicate plant and animal life. The second is the humbling insignificance of the human record beside that of the rocks of Lake Superior - ten restless millennia against three billion sombre years of endurance. Superior: The Haunted Shore is a plea for the integrity of the wilderness, for the authors consider the wild places to be the birthright of the generations who will travel this route after them.
