DOWNLOAD EBOOKMadeline Island. Just the words conjure up images of a magical place. For thousands of years the largest of the Apostle Islands has drawn people to its Lake Superior shores. For more than a hundred years summer residents have been shaping places for a relaxed pace of life shared with friends and family and immersed in nature. Over the course of two summers, architecture writer Linda Mack and her daughter, photographer Kendra Mack, plied the island's roads to capture the stories of twenty-seven wildly different retreats. They include century-old cottages, contemporary houses designed by Minnesota architects, a rustic fishing cabin, a reassembled 1812 Vermont barn, and the author's own beach house. "Readers of this delightful book will be so enchanted with Linda Mack's stories of the island cottages that they will want to catch the next ferry from Bayfield, Wisconsin." Bette Hammel, author of "Legendary Homes of the Minneapolis Lakes" and "Legendary Homes of Lake Minnetonka"

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPicturesque little Bayfield on Lake Superior is Wisconsin’s smallest city by population but one of its most popular visitor destinations. This book captures those unique qualities that keep tourists coming back year after year and offers a historically reliable look at the community as it is today and how it came to be. Abundantly illustrated with both historical and contemporary images, This Superior Place showcases, as author Dennis McCann writes, “a community where the past was layered with good times and down times, where natural beauty was the one resource that could not be exhausted by the hand of man, and where history is ever present.” Because Bayfield serves as “the gateway to the Apostle Islands,” the book also includes chapters on the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Madeline Island, and the nearby Red Cliff Ojibwe community. It also covers the significant eras in the city’s history: lumbering, quarrying, commercial fishing, and the advent of the orchards visitors see today. It is not a guidebook as such but more of a visual and written tour of the city and the major elements that came together to make it what it is. Colorful stories from the past, written in Dennis McCann’s casual, humorous style, give a sense of the unique characters and events that have shaped this charming city on the lake.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA dreamy full moon hangs over Madeline Island, yet things are anything but quiet on what the locals call, The Rock. Get ready for Eve and Ruby's wildest ride yet! With the help of friends and family, no matter what (or who) is thrown into their path-they always manage to find their way back to-the dock. Eve's sewing crew is churning out aprons, filling orders from all over the place as fast as lightning. When Eve's estranged father suddenly dies, it throws her into an emotional storm she can't escape. Then a box of family history lands on her lap and she finds the mother she'd never known-and some suspicions are confirmed that nearly blow Ruby's knickers off! A sudden squall rips through the island, the phone rings and Eve's world takes a nose dive as tragic news about her daughter pulls her heart in a way she'd never imagined. Through renewed determination and an RN with a major potty mouth, Eve and Ruby open Toad Hollow, a safe-house for pregnant teenagers desperate for a second chance. Inspired by a sudden flood of email into Ruby's Aprons inbox, a live radio interview with Eve & Ruby unleashes a deluge of call-in revelations-and loss. After the tractor's front-loader has a hilarious malfunction, the Ducky Derby's mad dash down Pikes Creek, a handsome ghost's mysterious message and a kick-ass concert, Eve discovers a truth that begins to set her free... No woman is an island.
