pickWhat a wild piece of history! This nonfiction book tells of the Great Hinckley Fire of 1894. So many people died or lost everything they had. The author had a relative caught in the tragedy and it drew his interest. A heartbreaking piece of Minnesota history, but a testament to the heroic actions some people take in an emergency.
pickAmazing read of courage along with devastation in Mn.
The Gig Harbor Book Company has this little stand outside their door (don‘t worry—it‘s indoors) for when you need a book but just can‘t manage to get there when they‘re open. How cool is this? #usedbookstores

pickAs a kid, we would stop at the Tobie's in Hinckley, MN just an hour or so out of Duluth on our way up to Grandma's. It's almost just a town where now, I wouldn't stop unless it was an emergency, but learning that this city was just as large and prosperous (if not more) than Duluth during this time, this loss was truly dreadful. Written with brilliancy and accuracy, D. J. Brown (Boys in The Boat) does it again with this exciting read!
Hinckley cabin read. ❤️
