Book excerpt: Best known for its many natural wonders, Lake Michigan also claims the odd and dubious honor as the home and stomping grounds of "Roaring" Dan Seavey, alleged to be the only pirate arrested on the Great Lakes. Aboard his ship, the Wanderer, Seavey's life at sea (or at lake) entangled him in all kinds of misadventures.
