Barry travels into the U.P. wilderness with author William Bjork who has documented the old Upper Peninsula camps.
"Bill" & wife Fran take us on a journey into the past when hundreds of such camps were throughout this part of michigan..both hunting and vacation camps.

Bill writes:
The Camps U.P. North is a brief history of the old logging and hunting camps of Northern Marquette County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Most were constructed between 1880 and 1910, a testament to our immigrant fathers who came to Michigan to work the iron mines and find a better way of life. With them came their love of nature and the desire to have a place of their own in the woods.
This "History in the Woods" was a labor of love for me since my father was one of those immigrant miners and great woodsmen. Many of the stories my father and uncle told about living off the land and the people who frequented them are included in the book. The Camps U.P. North is truly their story!
