North Country Novels and the Birch Clump Village Reader series
by author Joshua Seidl, SSP
A work of American historical fiction. Set in the pristine Northern Great Lakes Region, 1917-2010, centering on Michigan's beautiful forested Upper Peninsula. The Village of Birch Clump is that quint little place you might have dreamed of moving to, (or for some, to escape from). Family friendly, sound material, but not sweet an syrupy. At times, dynamically driven, dramatic, and yet calm, humorous in parts, and sprinkled with a bit of the romantic.

Extensively researched, these novels entertainingly present an authentic American experience. Granting Natives full U.S. citizenship in the 1920’s was countered nearly thirty years later with the American Indian Termination and Relocation acts. This was ended in 1971 and paved the way for passage of the American Indian Freedom of Religion Law, August 11, 1978, grave protection laws in the 1990s, and renewed treaty observation of the 21st century.
