Back To Beaver Island - by Kathy Flippo 216 pages. Soft Cover. More than 250 illustrations. This book is a sequel to Beaver Island Remembered. The author delves more deeply into the lives of those residents of Beaver island (just off the right bank of the Mississippi River at Clinton, Iowa). The island became populated in the middle of the last century and remained so through the mid 1900s. Ever wonder what people did on a small island in the Mississippi? They had a blast - and some hard times, too. If you missed the first book, don't miss this one. If you have the first book, it's still worth the chips, because the author invited all of the surviving island residents and their families back to the island for a get-together. This meant scads of new pictures and tons of new information. Usually same-day shipping! List Price: $24.95 Our Price: $20.00 You Save: $4.95 (19.8%) more info back to top |

Beaver Island Remembered - by Kathy Flippo
112 pages. Generously illustrated. Soft cover. Now in its third printing. This popular book is a history of some of the people who lived on Beaver Island (just off the Mississippi River right bank at Clinton, Iowa) from the time Charles and Ann Meyers settled there in 1840 until March 1995. We get a glimpse of the “Beaver Island War,” which took place in 1842, clearly establishing that the Clintonians ruled the island. From then on, the upper end of the island drew many settlers, mostly of Swedish and German descent. The island was a sportsmen’s paradise, and Kathy Flippo describes what it was like to work on the island, what residents (128 when the population was at its peak) did for fun, for transportation, for education, and for groceries, and how they survived during high water. Usually same-day shipping! List Price: $11.00 Our Price: $9.00 You Save: $2.00 (18.2%) more info back to top |
