Step back in time to view photos of the massive fires that destroyed the communities of Marquette and Ontonagon in the 19^th century. Get a glimpse of what it was like to live through “the storm against which all others are measured”, the Blizzard of 1938. You’ll see how residents dealt with the heavy winter snows and the spring floods as well as the Great Seiche that affected the Lake Superior region during mid-June 1939.

Sunburns to Snowstorms contains nearly 300 photos along with those stories of locations and events surrounding the images. It’s an essential book for those who love the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
