Excerpt from From Lake to Wilderness: Or the Cruise of the Yolande In the Northern Peninsula of Michigan there is no stream more wild and picturesque, more generous to the angler than Dead River. It empties into Lake Superior at the city of Marquette. On a sultry afternoon early in July two lads of seventeen were fishing in this stream about two miles from its mouth. They sat on a flat rock that jutted into a deep, circular pool. Their rods were beside them, and two gayly-painted floats lay motionless on the black water. All around them was the virgin forest - a tangle of timber, rocks and undergrowth. From a distance came faintly the brawling of the Powder Mill Falls. Both lads were tall and vigorous, and sturdily built, ruddy and bronzed with health and much out-door living. As far back as they could remember the two had been chums and close friends. Garth Railton's eyes and hair were jet black, and his face showed determination, pluck and strong character. Andy Conway had curly brown hair, laughing eyes of gray, and a frank, jolly face that was a clear index to hi nature.
