Description

A Wonderful Country: Quetico-Superior Stories of Bill MagieBills stories originate from the Canoe Country todays Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Voyageur National Park, and Quetico Provincial Park. But they are not the dry facts of the past. (Some would argue that there are few facts to be found in these stories!) Instead, they are full of the elements that still draw us to this wilderness area today wolf howls, sparkling water, storms, solitude, stillness, adventurous undertakings, relics of bygone

Bill’s stories originate from the Canoe Country — today’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Voyageur National Park, and Quetico Provincial Park. But they are not the dry facts of the past. (Some would argue that there are few facts to be found in these stories!) Instead, they are full of the elements that still draw us to this wilderness area today — wolf howls, sparkling water, storms, solitude, stillness, adventurous undertakings, relics of bygone days, campfires and camaraderie.

Take this book on your next canoe trip, and imagine Bill has joined you, spinning tales of lumberjacks and trappers, surveying the border, flying bush planes when flying at all was a novelty, camping before nylon and plastic and freeze-dried food, hunting and fishing when you succeeded or went hungry.

Find stories about the places you visit: Curtain Falls, Prairie Portage, Granite River, Knife Lake, Basswood, Saganaga — and so many more. And know that the spirit of those who have loved this place lives on as today’s paddlers discover what a wonderful country this is.

Editorial Review

"The irascible Bill Magie offers today's Canoe Country travelers an invaluable and entertaining glimpse into the wilderness of bygone days. Reading Bill's stories makes you wish you could have shared a campfire with him 70 years ago. Thanks to Dave Olesen, you almost can."

--Sam Cook, author of Up North, Camp Sites and Moving Waters.

Perfect for your sink organization
Color: Silver Grey
I have searched many sites for a product that will fit on our sink for all our kitchen and dishwashing needs and I finally found this product which proper fits with our kitchen decor and fits perfectly on our sink and it is very strong. I’m not worried about it breaking it anyway. Well with the price.

Love it
Color: Mattle Black
We'd been looking for a sponge holder we liked for a while andy wife came across this one. We were not disappointed. It's plenty big to hold a handful of sponges and scrubbers, plus our hand soap. I like the design that lets excess water drip back into the sink. Looks pretty low profile and sleek too

Keeps the water off your counter!
Color: Mattle Black, Color: Mattle Black
Works great! I’ve been looking for a solution to stop the sponge water from spilling onto the counter! Liked nice and neat. Great for keeping everything neat and organized. Size is perfect for sponges and nail brush and a small soap bottle.

Great sink organizer!
Good quality storage/organizer for the kitchen sink. It’s stable and can hold an assortment of dish cleaning products close to the sink. It has a plastic dish underneath to collect drip-off water. This is exactly what I needed to organize!
