From: Cache Lake Country: Life in the North Woods (1947) by John J. Rowlands; Illustrated by Henry B. Kane
     The big woods are hot and dry and quiet these days, for we have come to summer's halfway mark and nature is pausing for a rest on the portage from spring to fall. The rains are past, the growing season is over, and now come the dog days when Sirius, the Dog Star, rises and sets with the sun.
     The days of July are long and sunny and even the winds seem to lazy to blow, which gives all the insect pests a chance to make life miserable for man and beast. The moose and the deer are in the quiet coves and backwaters of the streams trying to escape the tormenting winged pests, which make them lose some of their fear of man....
      Now is the season when you see a great many butterflies, and it is mighty interesting to walk through a grassy place in a clearing and watch them rise up and flutter away in the quiet air; and at night the moths come by the hundreds drawn by the light in the window.

Onward Through Hell: Company L of Menominee - 125th Infantry Regiment - 32nd Division - At Hill 212 in World War I, by Ross Parcels. Thirty-three soldiers in a company of around 200, including nine men from Menominee, Michigan, were killed in France during Company L's first day in battle in World War I. This slim, well-researched book details what happened to the company on 31 July 1918, newspaper propaganda on the Menominee home front, and the aftermath of battle, including an examination of burial case files from the National Archives. The illustrated book includes photographs from the local archives of a book burning--German textbooks and other items German were burned--that took place in Menominee in June 1918. $19.95
