Book Description
Madison Police Detective Molders has finally retired after a 29 year career and is living his dream, exploring Lake Superior aboard his 31 foot Gozzard sailboat. When his plans are interrupted by engine trouble, Molders sails to the Madeline Island Yacht Club for repairs. There, he is reunited with his old detective buddy Ron Helgusen and his old Isle Royale ranger partner, Katelynn "Tommy" Tomaczeski. Retired from MPD, Ron is now serving as the interim police chief for the tiny La Pointe Police Department on the island and "Tommy" is his only full time police officer. Ron asks Molders to help him look into some suspicious activity on the island. When the bodies start to pile up, Molders comes out of retirement to help investigate. Molders encounters old friends and old enemies in his pursuit of justice. The investigation uncovers the presence of ex-military and ex-intelligence operators mysteriously on the island. Further investigation reveals evidence linking murder to the operators efforts to keep their activities secret. Receiving little help from federal bureaucracies, Molders and his small team, outnumbered and out gunned, battle for justice.

Book Description
The Great Lakes fur trade spanned two centuries and thousands of miles, but the story of one particular family, the Cadottes, illuminates the history of trade and trapping while exploring under-researched stories of French-Ojibwe political, social, and economic relations. Multiple generations of Cadottes were involved in the trade, usually working as interpreters and peacemakers, as the region passed from French to British to American control. Focusing on the years 1760 to 1840—the heyday of the Great Lakes fur trade—Robert Silbernagel delves into the lives of the Cadottes, with particular emphasis on the Ojibwe–French Canadian Michel Cadotte and his Ojibwe wife, Equaysayway, who were traders and regional leaders on Madeline Island for nearly forty years. In The Cadottes: A Fur Trade Family on Lake Superior, Silbernagel deepens our understanding of this era with stories of resilient, remarkable people.

Book Description
Picturesque 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.
