Michael Hittle writes: “In retirement I have turned my historical attention from Russia to Wisconsin, and the result is An Accidental Jewel: Wisconsin’s Turtle-Flambeau Flowage (Little Creek Press, 2018). Part environmental history and part social history of Wisconsin’s northern woods, this book tells the story of a storage reservoir, constructed in 1926 for the purpose of downstream power generation, that evolved into a semi-wilderness body of water that has drawn anglers, campers, nature watchers, and scientists from around the country. That project completed, I led a group of intellectually vigorous seniors through a speed course on the history of Russia.”
