Summary

With a passion for storytelling and a gift for showing how the past flourishes in our daily lives, Peter Unwin takes an original look at the North -- in particular, the stories and personalities that surround the world's largest body of fresh water. Lake Superior has long had a powerful effect on the popular imagination. 'The Wolf 's Head' weaves together the stories of the Ojibwa, French, and English peoples whose coexistence on these shores formed the basis for a genuinely North American society -- a society based on everyday hardship, naked courage, and native adaptability. 'The Wolf 's Head' encompasses a range of stories, including the life of wild teenager Pierre Radisson, the coming of the Jesuits, the rise and fall of the world's most celebrated silver mine, the astonishing removal of the Ontonagon Boulder, the Second World War German prisoners who hand-fed black bears from their prison camp and, of course, the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
