Circling the Wolf's Head is a series of eight loosely connected essays about the Lake Superior region that trace a clockwise route around the lake, beginning and ending in Duluth, Minnesota. As he circles the lake, the author spends time in the region's small but storied port cities (Duluth, Thunder Bay, and Sault Sainte Marie); in the remote mining, timber, and tourist towns scattered along Superior's shores; and in the dark, forested wilderness that envelops all of them. Always the big lake looms mysteriously in the background-a symbol of nature's implacability in the face of human endeavor. With lively accounts of his contemporary travels, keen historical insights, and vivid descriptions of the landscape's primal power, Eaton evokes the spirit of this remarkable region.
