'Overburden' and the Fourth of July on the Iron Range

With so many Iron Range natives returning to the area for the Fourth of July for parades, street dances and festivals, I must point out that my book "Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range" won the Northeastern Minnesota Book Award and is available now at book stores all over the state and online at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com.

This book is a humorous, historical and personal look at the Iron Range from the eyes of a 20-something fifth generation native. A series of light-hearted essays ask questions about what is the Iron Range, what makes it work and what the future holds.
