Description

Befitting its role as Wisconsin's thumb, Door County has its own unique pulse. It is the "Door of the Dead," which some historians blame for more shipwrecks than any other body of freshwater in the world.It is also the idyllic paradise "north of the tension line," that sends many unsuspecting tourists spiraling into an addiction that lands them in a summer home. The variety of nature's splendors and terrors is matched by the cast of characters that has risen up among them. In Door County Tales, these characters are given free rein, which seems only proper in a place where one might walk out of a restaurant and see goats grazing on the roof.

Awesome, awesome book! Soucek fills in the blanks to questions left hanging out there by other DC authors like how Hedgehog Harbor got its name. She brings the reader into the book through history, folklore and fact with historic photos and extensive research. Interesting fact: Plum Island is actually within the town of Washington which encompasses Detroit, Hog and Rock Islands. Her writing style uses great imagery and if you haven't physically visited the sites she's mentioned, you have in your mind. She complements the Friends of Plum and Pilot Islands (of which I serve on the board for) in our efforts to rescue and restore the structures on Pilot Island: "The work is costly and difficult, but the group has done a great deal to preserve the historic site." Thank you Gayle!
