Author: Mark Munger

This wonderfully paced historical novel takes place across the hilly shoulders of NE Minnesota and UP Michigan at the dawn of the 20th century. A love story. A diary of the American labor movement. A tale of heroism and combat set against the fiery backdrop of the Great War. For those readers who loved Mark's first novel, The Legacy, and reveled in the storytelling of Pigs, this book is a must read.

Review: As winter settles over the region, those souls wishing to avoid the snow and cold should brew a warm beverage and settle in front of the fire with Suomalaiset: People of the Marsh...This ambitious historical novel sweeps the reader into a world of romance, labor strife, and political change?a strong fictional story with historical details...
