Historic Lake Superior and Minnesota's North Shore 2004 Calendar

November 2003

by Sea Grant Staff

Nature here is not in her pretty moods, toying with water, playing with flowers…. Her music is thunder. Her attire is the somber green of the pine. Her play is the everlasting wash of the waves against solid granite walls. –Chicago Tribune, 1870)

Historic photographs of Lake Superior coupled with voices from a time when American life was more basic might be the ideal way to soothe the hectic months of 2004.

We have partnered again with the Lake Superior Marine Museum Association and Christie Printing to compile a black-and-white wall-sized calendar of North Shore memories. The 12-month calendar printed with soy ink on recycled paper features selections from archives of state and local historical societies. Quotes from historic texts and facts complement the images, moon phases, and holidays (including local favorites like St. Urho's Day).

Historic Lake Superior and Minnesota's North Shore calendar is available for $5 each, plus tax. See a sampling of the images online at www.seagrant.umn.edu/calendar/. The calendar can be found at Barnes and Noble and Walden Book stores in Minnesota and at many local gift shops and bookstores in Duluth and on the North Shore. Order item G10 under the general category on our products order form.
