In \u003cem\u003eNorthland\u003c\/em\u003e, he blends a deeply reported and beautifully written story of the region's history with a riveting account of his travels. Setting out from the easternmost point in the mainland United States, Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain's adventures across the Northeast; recounts the rise and fall of the timber, iron, and rail industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. He weaves in his encounters with residents, border guards, Indian activists, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland today, wracked by climate change, water wars, oil booms, and border security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFox, Porter:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePorter Fox\u003c\/strong\u003e is the editor of \u003cem\u003eNowhere\u003c\/em\u003e and the author of \u003cem\u003eDeep\u003c\/em\u003e.
