A Small Bequest is the comic account of two city boys and their summer expedition through Michigan's Upper Peninsula in 1934. What begins as an innocent camping trip becomes a disaster of hilarious... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I'd heard this book contained information about the Upper Penninsula of Michigan from an earlier era, specifically about Blaney Park. A lifelong resident of the UP, I'd never heard of Blaney Park until recently; there's not much of it left. But at one time, it was a nationally-known resort. The book takes place almost entirely in the Manistique area. The book is fun to read, and gives an amazing insight into the mindset of depression-era Michiganders. I'm surprised Jeff Daniels hasn't made it into a movie yet.
