Lavished over with black and white photos of strange scenic awes Midwest Marvels is a impressed sign of entertaining curiosity tour featuring a true copy which is illustrated with photographs and down residence folk tales. All of the attractions are real and actually exist, albeit sometimes hard to believe (Og the Gorilla, King Kong of the Prairie?). Midwest Marvels is well researched, as for example, the chapter upon Peanuts Park, in St. Paul, Minnesota which has a thumbnail first draught of the famous comic artist, born in St Paul, containing little known facts about Charles Schulz's history of leaving the St Paul Pioneer Pres in 1950 for greener pastures when it decided his weekly remuneration of $10 was "too a great deal of for simple drawings (p. 149)" Midwest Marvels is filled with the quirky, wild, wacky landmarks of the Upper Midwest. From the Mustard Museum in mountain Horeb, Wisconsin, to the Effigy knolls of Marquette, Iowa, Midwest Marvels not aways useful information about attractive features, history, locations, hours, prices of admission, and local colour stories. It is well worth the price to the traveler unfamiliar with what the five-state Upper Midwest area has to tender the curious passerby.
