The Observer is committed to carrying engaging articles that grab our readers' interest -- even if they don't fit into comfortable categories.  Here are some recent examples.

Faces and Places in Island History

During World War II, Jake Gunnlaugson was assigned to a "Liberty Ship" transporting all manner of things for the military: ammunition as well as troops.  He recently told us of his adventures.  

The Great Debate

Reprint of Bob Toerpe's popular series on the Constitutional debate of 1788 in the pivotal state of Virginia.  The Founding Fathers weren't quite as stuffy as they're sometimes portrayed. 

Nature News from Little Lake

For over 20 years, Marilyn Gau has delighted readers of the Observer and its predecessors with her observations of the great happenings in the small world of Little Lake -- the tiny lake on the northwestern peninsula of Washington Island.  And we're just as delighted to offer a selection of reprints of Marilyn's work.
