About the Author Randi Minetor has written more than thirty books, including Historic Glacier National Park, Death in Glacier National Park, Death in Zion National Park, and Death on Mount Washington.
It\'s a fascinating addition to the North Woods canon.
Randi Minetor gathers the stories of these fatalities, from falls to exposure to cardiac arrest; and presents dozens of misadventures, including hunting accidents, lightning strikes, and even more than one suspicious death.
Hiking, climbing, backpacking, snowshoeing, back-country skiing, and ice-climbing are among the activities pursued there; and there has a been a similar range in the ways people have met their demise on the mountain and in the park.
Tucked away in the remote North Woods, it is an adventure seeker\'s paradise.
It is also the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.
