Promises and hope—the immigrant seeks. Homes, barns, and schools were built with hope. Light became hope. Apple trees were planted. Fertile ground and fresh sweet water gave opportunity. Copper was discovered. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan flourished as families raised their children with wisdom and hope.
Remnants remain. The stories are recorded by Anne. Stories, intertwined with visual brilliance, of friendly, furiously independent people of the Upper Peninsula of the state of Michigan.
Come into my world—imagine—sit by a warm fire. Imagine the life that was once lived. View the photos; read the stories. View the beauty; feel the struggles of the immigrants—Finns, Norwegians, Welsh, Germans, Italians, and Poles.
