Dorothy Molter: The Root Beer Lady of Knife Lake

By Sarah Guy-Levar and Terri Schocke

Her name is synonymous with the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and root beer. Her story is one of struggle and triumph. This is the biography of the Nightingale of the Wilderness, a woman who fought the government for her land, a woman whose life inspired a museum in her honor.

This new book features a fresh look at Dorothy’s life from the people who operate her museum. It includes new stories, long-forgotten photographs, and excerpts from her vacation journals and Christmas letters. It even includes her recipe for home-brewed root beer. Even those familiar with Dorothy’s incredible life story have never experienced it like this.
