Description

By Jan McAdams Huttenstine

Remotely Yours brings the full history of the Whitefish Point area into the present in a way that will not likely be forgotten. Huttenstine’s  writing style is as engaging as the story she tells and draws readers into the lives of the people of the Point- Native Americans, lighthouse keepers, fishermen, cranberry farmers, U.S. Navy radiomen, coastguardsmen, teachers and local politicians. Visitors to the Whitefish Point area will revel in the degree of authenticity still existing there– Centennial Cranberry Farm, Whitefish Point Harbor, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and grounds, and Vermillion Point Nature Preserve on Lake Superior. The history leading to the establishment of these sites is covered by Huttenstine in a final chapter that ends where she begins– in a place she loves for its natural beauty, solitude and serenity.
