The moose and Wilbur P. Dilby

"If only we could see life in the north as it was way back when. Hear the ladies in the church basement comparing which soap they use to cure young boys of cursing. Listen to the men at the gas station gossip about that saucy, young blonde serving platters of pork at the sauerkraut feed. Imagine the tales we'd hear. Tales so important then. Yet, so soon lost. Thirty-seven life events inspired James Brakken to write this collection. He lays them out before you, providing a glimpse into days gone by, coaxing a smile, bringing a tear, or making you laugh out loud. These are stories straight from the heart and the heart of the north. Of good people and bad, from clergymen to charlatans, youngsters to oldsters. Thirty-seven stories that take place not far from Lake Superior, in woodlands and rural communities folks called home. Stories filled with characters you'll love and places you'll love to visit, if only within these pages"--Page 4 of cover.
