Outstanding story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Root Beer Lady: The Story of Dorothy Molter (Paperback)
I have been going to the BWCAW for the past three years. Reading this story just brings back all of the memories that I have been collecting over the last 3 years. Reading this book you can take yourself back to the wilderness area by moose lake, ensign lake and farther north to knife lake. It's a beautiful area that all should visit.

This review is from: Root Beer Lady: The Story of Dorothy Molter (Paperback)
Dorothy Molter was an independent woman who managed to live her dream in one of the most beautiful and serene wilderness areas in the world. In her cabin on a lake in the boundary waters canoe area, she lived alone and in harmony with nature. Thirsty canoe travelers would stop by to visit Dorothy and she offered them root beer, which she bottled herself. This is an inspiring, true story of independent living; highly recommended to anyone who has ever dreamed of living in the woods.

I bought this book for my dad for Christmas. I remember stories he would tell of Dorothy and his visits to her cabin while up in the Boundary Waters. I can't wait to hear his reaction to the book. My dad is in his 80's now and no longer can travel to the North country.
