A Small Bequest

Edmund G. Love		 A Small Bequest is the comic account of two city boys and their summer expedition through Michigan's Uppr Peninsula in 1934. What begins as an innocent camping trip becomes a disaster of hilarious proportions for author Ed Love and his best friend, George French.
Exploring Grandfather Perry's legacy—two sections of land in the sothwest quadrant of Luce County—the boys are beset by porcupines and poison ivy, blowouts and breakdowns and soon realize that the north woods scrub is no place for Eagle Scouts. Love is a keen observer of the American scene, and A Small Bequest is his witty reminder that all is not beautiful in the wilderness.		 "A storyteller with a very special touch."
—The New York Times
