Danny and the Boys: Being Some Legends of Hungry Hollow (Great Lakes Books)

Book was shipped exceedingly fast. Book as described. Problem-free transaction.

I purchased this for Father's Day for my dad, and he is very very happy! Great condition and an excellent price! Can't wait to read it myself when he's done. :)

If you've ever lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula or vacationed there, this is about living there in the 1920's. Wildlife stories, and Wild Life stories. Moonshine, and Chicago businessmen. Local Characters. I highly recommend this.

Surely there is a measure of truth to all these tales, as no one could just conjure up the adventures Danny McGinnis and his pals undertook. And what great tales they are . . . particularly for anyone with an appreciation of cantankerous colorful characters . . . old codgers, to be exact. Ribald and robust, "Danny and the Boys" is a joy. I wish I'd known that bunch!

One of my all time favorate books. A little tongue in cheek, a little local U.P. history. It doesn't get better than that.

This is a classic collection of Traver's stories of the UP. I wouldn't be without it in my library.

Very good and humorous book on an aspect of Michigan UP culture.

John Steinbeck was much better at this kind of backwoodsman stories - but these are readable and quite amusing.
