Great Information for Snowshoers!!!
Great snowshoe hikes in the Tahoe area-some hikes are even good for other seasons when the snow is gone. Good directions and got us out more in the winter months-

The Garden of Martyrs

St. Martin's Griffin, 2005

Fiction based on reality
Michael C. White has based his novel on a factual incident, which I had never heard of before: a murder in Northampton, Massachusetts in 1805. There are many fine things about this excellently written book, among them a battle for a soul which is the most engrossing I have read since I read Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder(read 18 Mar ...

A Brother's Blood: A Novel

Perennial, 1997

Best fiction I read in 2000
I read this after my local group had arranged for White to speak at an annual Breakfast with the Authors event. I was immediately drawn into the story and the characters--especially the woman who tells us the story. I did not grow up in Maine but in New England and have spent a little time in rural Maine. The characters seemed so real and true to me. In thinking about the characters after reading ...

A Dream of Wolves: A Novel

Michael C. White

Harper Perennial, 2002

deft, gripping murder mystery transcends genre cliches
Michael C. White's compelling "A Dream of Wolves" is much more than an intriguing murder mystery. Written with a deft hand, the novel features an extraordinary protagonist, a middle-aged gynecologist wracked by guilt over his son's death and riddled with a sense of social and personal responsibility for not only his professional obligations but his personal life as well. Doctor Stuart Jordan ...

Soul Catcher: A Novel (P.S.)

Entertaining read
I picked up this book while shopping at Costco. I am happy that I did. The book, for me, started out a little slow but ramped up quickly as White developed the characters and the story. I found it hard to put down after page 100. A good story about the pre civil war times, slavery, and the profession of slave catching. He also caused me to study up on the Mexican/American War in the 1840's ...

Marked Men: Stories

1 review
Michael C. White

University of Missouri Press, 2000

Captivating and Enveloping
The title and cover of this book suggest a book about men and their struggles; however, my favorite short stories by Michael White in this collection are the ones told from a woman's perspective - and there are quite a few of them. Michael White's men are all one and interchangable. Perhaps, a male himself, he is better able to detatch himself from the female characters. They are real: ...

Michael C. White

Wilderness Press, 1999

Yosemite is one of the great natural wonders of the world but much of it has been relatively inaccessible when snow covers the ground. Now, author Michael C. White opens up a whole world of possibilities. For those folks willing to travel under their own power, a new playground exists. Like his best-selling Snowshoe Trails of Tahoe, White describes the area's best snowshoe trips, all chosen for their great scenery and easy accessibility. ...

Must read.
Great new interpretations on slavery, emancipation, and the pivotal role they played in nineteenth century history. A very insightful, enlightening, and interesting read.

Highland Sage
Michael C. White's guide to the Nevada backcountry is absolutely excellent. Those looking for backcountry fishing opportunities will really appreciate the info provided in addition to the wealth of detailed insight White lends on backpacking routes. The topo map section is a huge plus! I have dozens of guide books on backpacking and this is one of the finest I have run across. Friends agree.
