Book One of the "Gitchee Gumee Saga" The history surrounding Wisconsin"s northern-most city, situated on the western tip of Lake Superior, comes alive in "The Gitchee Gumee Saga," written by Superior natives Jean Hackensmith & Kathe Birch. Spanning one hundred twenty-five years, these romantic tales of Superior"s historic past will enthrall the reader and leave them wanting more... Samantha Carmichael has a secret—a secret that the young mail order bride must, at all costs, keep from her new husband. In short, she is already married, but the truth refuses to leave her lips when she finds that the handsome and kind Nate Jarvis is a far cry from the animal she left behind... Nate Jarvis is a simple man—a trapper—a man who takes pride in the natural beauty of his wilderness home on the shores of Lake Superior. He is bound and determined to marry the beautiful Ciqala, a member of the neighboring Ojibwe tribe, who cherishes the land as much as he. His life turns topsy-turvy though, when the shy, yet devastatingly lovely Samantha Carmichael arrives unexpectedly from New York City, prepared to become his wife.
