About the author

For over thirty years readers of the Lake Country Echo in north-central Minnesota have enjoyed the biweekly column by Craig Nagel called “The Cracker Barrel.” A sampling of his work was published in book form some years ago in A Place Called Home. In response to requests from hundreds of loyal readers, this companion volume contains additional essays written over the past three decades. Join Nagel as he extols the intricacies of tracks found on sand roads, reflects on the loss of serenity after felling a large red oak, delights in mouth-watering food picked from the family garden, and recalls the childhood joy of sitting at a country railroad station with his beloved Uncle Henry watching a steam locomotive roll into view. Craig Nagel lives in the woods near Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, with his wife, Claire. He divides his time between writing, reading, traveling, sailing, taking naps, and having fun with his grandkids.
