Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Hamilton Nelson Ross, a native of Beloit, became acquainted with the village of La Pointe in 1894 when he first visited Madeline Island as a boy. In the years that followed, he explored the Apostles, his curiosity piqued by stories he heard about the history of the region, and began his lifelong search for the historical truth that lay behind folklore and legend. Better than anyone before or since, he came to know the islanders and their lives intimately.
