Mysterious Islands: Forgotten Tales of the Great Lakes

Rating:
Summary: picked it up, couldn't put it down
Review: There are those of us from the Great Lakes region who become infected with these sweetwater seas--and I am one of them. The Great Lakes offer so much in the area of recreation in swimming, fishing, boating and just watching. They also offer much in stories and tales of people, places and events on or by the water.

I was accompanying my son on a grade school field trip and came across this book in a gift store. I picked it up and found that I could not put it down...so I bought it and read it straight thru.

This book is filled with the people and events that occured on many of the islands that exist in this lake system. Stories of people and places that are rarely found in our history books, or at most hinted at.

This book is a must have for anyone who collects tales of the Great Lakes.
