Our Return to Rustic Roots
       Mary Ellen Goulet

Mary Ellen Goulet's reflections are a collection of articles which she wrote when she was a columnist in Black Hills, South Dakota and of personal observations dating from her birth and early childhood in Calumet Location near Ely, Minnesota. Photos from the early years document the type of life she describes in the heyday of the iron mining boom in northeastern Minnesota.

In May of 1998, she and her husband Bob moved to the Black Hills. They have chosen to live "off the grid" - using energy from the sun and water from the skies. The book is both an historical account and a memoir. It is also a good read for anyone who is contemplating an adventure away from the humdrum existence of a city center.
