The Morris Canoe: Legacy of an American Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492746911)

Kathryn Hilliard Lykken Klos was born in Minneapolis, where she grew up, married, and had a number of wonderful children. The daughter of a high school English teacher and a mom who loved to write, Kathy hopes they are smiling down on her writing endeavors. Education-wise, Kathy attended Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, focusing on literature and theater; graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Nursing with a BSN; and received a JD from William Mitchell College of Law. She has enjoyed writing all her life, has worked as a registered nurse, and has stayed out of court as much as possible. Although a Minnesotan at heart, Kathy has lived in Michigan's Upper Peninsula since 2002, where she shares a home with beings of human, canine, feline and avian persuasions. The Morris Canoe is Kathy's sixth published book and first attempt at non-fiction. Aside from writing, her passions include history, genealogy, Nature, animals, books, movies, making YouTube videos, and paddling wooden canoes. She has served on the board of the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association and manages Facebook pages related to the Morris and other wooden canoes.
