Description of book
'A Michigan Man' is a haunting short story by Elia Wilkinson Peattie that captures the melancholy atmosphere of the pine forests in northern Michigan. The story follows Luther Dallas, a skilled ax-man who has spent the majority of his life in the forest. Dallas is superstitious and fears that he will die by a tree falling on him. When he is instructed to chop down a particular tree, he is filled with a sense of dread. As he works, the tree seems to taunt him with its mournful presence. Will Dallas survive this encounter with the forest, or will his superstitions come true?
