Wells has combed the great north woods of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota for these 19th-century histories of indomitable Bunyanesque shantyboys (their name before the 1870s) against whiskey, Indians, forest fires, ladies-for-hire, evangelists, and lumber barons. Between descriptions of the fetid bunkhouses, monotonous diets, and heroic brawls, he's managed some rare glimpses of the rough-hewn beginnings of Escanaba, Mich., LaPorte, Minn., Chippewa Falls, Wis., and other timber towns in the Great Lakes states.
