Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: The author, Fred C. Burke, born a century ago (April 1879) knew Peshtigo Harbor intimately through his childhood and early years and visited his family there, as a young man, as long as the community existed. This is history, seen through the eyes of a contemporary member of this early sawmill village that was unique in many ways. His on the scene memories may come closer to portraying actual history than any amount of later day research could provide. It furnishes both a chronological statement of events with a look into the flavor of a type of life, long forgotten. It has an insight into a type of rugged living and thinking that made pioneer life what it was. It is not a history interpreted by people of a later age, it is life in these times, by one who lived the. Perhaps this attribute will give this volume some value.
