Dennis McCann's beat is the back road, where disheveled cabins tell human tales and where a long-buried Irishman raises questions. His stories will take you from the oldest tavern in Iowa to a lighthouse bedroom on Lake Superior's shore, from Chief Black Hawk's lost homeland to the Stand Up Bar. So sit back-or grab your keys- and come on along. Either way, you'll enjoy the ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I want to go there now,
By John Diefenbach (Manton Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dennis McCann Takes You for a Ride: Stories from the Byways of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois (Paperback)
When reading of the locations Dennis goes to you feel you were in the back seat with him. He gives very vivid detail of exact places. One place he reviewed was Manistee Michigan the Victorian Port City. the Milwaukee House was owned by Great Grandfather and Grandfather Diefenbach and we know the information was factual and interestingly portrayed. There are many such articles that make you want to go to these byways he deplicts.
