Magic on the Rocks; Furtman

Scattered across the Boundary Waters and Quetico region, left by its native people on canvases of stone, are hundreds of enigmatic paintings. From the magnificently adorned panels on Lac La Croix to the hidden drawings far up remote Montgomery Creek, these pictographs tell of the artists' dreams and of the traditions that spawned them.

Generations of canoe country travelers have wondered what these mysterious drawings might mean. Now, in this book, I've presented a comprehensive guide to the canoe country's known pictographs and provide insight into their messages.

This book contains a description of every known pictograph site in the Boundary Waters and Quetico, complete with maps and directions to find them. The artwork in the book originated from my photographs, and using computer enhancement to bring out detail long ago faded beyond the ability of the human eye to see it, I believe they are the most accurate reproductions of pictographs to date.

Magic on the Rocks is an indispensable tool for those who would respectfully visit the sacred sites of a wise and ancient culture.
