A Place on Water
A natural history memoir of northwest Wisconsin
by Peter D. Nordgren
It begins with a small hand-painted wooden sign nailed to a skinny popple tree.
Come along on Peter Nordgren’s journey as he and his family make their home in the north country of Wisconsin. Living by a small lake, they meet the plants and creatures living around them as the seasons pass and changes come. You’ll come away with a vivid sense of place and a new understanding of the forest community of the north.
