Margaret Beattie Bogue is professor emerita of history and liberal studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of Around the Shores of Lake Michigan: A Guide to Historic Sites, also published by the University of Wisconsin Press, and of many other books and articles on fisheries, wetlands, and agriculture in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada.
"Bogue addresses a problem that has caught the attention of no
other historian, despite its very basic interest to both the United
States and Canada. This book fills a huge void in our understanding
of the fisheries of the Great Lakes."--Kurk Dorsey, University of
New Hampshire, author of The Dawn of Conservation Diplomacy
"The discovery, exploitation, and destruction of the Great Lakes
fisheries is an important story that should be told, and Margaret
Bogue is the first to tell it from such a broad historical,
geographic, and environmental perspective. The great strength of
Fishing the Great Lakes is the very extensive historical evidence
drawn from American and Canadian archives."--Stephen Bocking, Trent
University, Ontario, author of Ecologists and Environmental
Politics
