Fearless John: The Legend of John Beargrease

Readers will enjoy this true story of John Beargrease, an Anishinaabe woodsman and U.S. mail carrier along the north shore in the late 1800's. John braved cold and ice, and wild animals to deliver mail and supplies to residents in the region. He is honored in modern times by the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon following a route he used long ago. Written by Kelly Emerling Rauzi, illustrated by Mila Horak, this book will introduce readers to a lesser-known Minnesota hero.
