In the book "Brothers by Fire" we talk about the Big White Oak area of Northern Minnesota. One of the key elements that make up such a large area is the floating bog. Time and water combine with floating plants to make a carpet of plants that is sometimes a couple feet deep. In some areas, it can be walked on but occasionally, you sink deeply and wind up swimming.
An invention perfected here in Minnesota was the bog shoe. It looked almost like putting a small canoe on each foot. They were hard to use and few had them.
You can find the EBook Kindle edition of this book, "Brothers by Fire" at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated frequently.
Stop in once in a while. I'll try to write something new and informative about "Brothers by Fire".
Good Reading,
Ron
