MEDIA REVIEWS
“It’s a part of history that isn’t really known,” said Rose Berens, Director of Bois Forte Heritage Museum. “There’s a lot of truth in it, and that’s something that’s going to be really important for people here in northeastern Minnesota to read.”
How John and James Iverson researched and wrote the story is almost as good as the book itself. You can almost smell the fire and hear the waves lapping on the shore.
Julie Anixter - Chief Innovations Officer - Think Remarkable
"A very fast read with smooth voicing. But regardless of how the story is told the fact remains that the novel is based on real events and depicts a real time in Minnesota and Ojibwa History."
Jessie White Mesabi News
Hunters and Hearts is a fascinating story of courage and loyalty.
The Ely Echo
As emphasized in the introduction, the Iverson family wrote the novel with the intent of honoring the Ojibwa, who had a significant influence on the brothers’ childhood.
Courtney Subramanian - Northwest Herald
This historical novel, written by James and John Iverson, is an interesting and imaginative account of an actual friendship between their grandfather, Emil Iverson, and an Ojibwa man, Two Rivers, who learns to trust again after his village was decimated by disease spread by Europeans.
Marshall Helmberger - The Timberjay
Some families pass down jewelry, china or ancestral names, but not the Iversons. Their family heirloom is a passion for exploration.
Diana Newton - Pioneer Press
A great new book by Deerfield natives James and John Iverson chronicles the adventures of a noteworthy explorer, ,athlete, and formeKawaad coach of theChicago Blackhawks.
Lake county Journal
I am intrigued by the Kawa Bay history and eager to see if the Iverson brothers have made it approachable in their imaginative work.

The Authors
J.W Iverson
John is practicing Taoist that values knowledge and experience over anything material. His passion to explore began as a Recon Marine while stationed abroad in Africa, South America and Asia. He is a former bodyguard, no holds barred fighter and currently an expert in the ancient Greek art of Pankration. He continually strives to balance his extreme physical nature with a more cultural and spiritual side. By borrowing from the philosophy of the samurai warrior – Myamoto Mysashi, he strives to be true to the way of the poet/warrior “pen and sword in accord.” He also holds close to the ideals of his ancestors so as to someday become an equally dedicated environmentalist.
James Iverson
James is a father of three and an avid fossil collector who teaches his children the value of staying close to the earth. His background research into Ojibwa history and of the early European settlers (that trapped the waterways delineating the Canadian border) was instrumental in producing an accurate book. Both John and Jim are ready for any opportunity to hit the open road and discover exciting things in America’s backcountry as well as finding out new things about themselves. James combines an eagerness to meet new people with the love of unique automobiles as a brand consultant.
P.Farcy
P.Farcy is the proud father of a son and a business consultant in Chicago. He is an enthusiastic student of history, ancient mysteries and mystical lore. He also enjoys and practices MMA, boxing, self defense techniques, as well as art research, art forensic sciences and Screenwriting.
They have completed their second novel about the darker side of adventure seeking called “Gutting the Monkey.”
