Crafted on the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan's Upper Peninsula during the challenges of the Great Depression, Elsie Nelson's Wandering Verse captures the daily life of a woman, wife, and mother of the 1930s. Completely immersed in the demands of raising eight children while living in the wilderness, Nelson recorded and cataloged her life with pencil stubs and scraps of paper.
