Book excerpt: From the Publisher: The story of quintessential lake cottage life is told in this survey of early summer cottages built along the shore of Glen Lake located in north-west lower Michigan and renowned for its natural, pristine beauty. Over 50 Glen Lake historic cottages' interiors and exteriors are documented in 172 duotones and narratives that honor each cottage's lore and memories. As photographed by Dietrich Floeter, the black-and-white images reveal the essence and beauty of each cottage. The accompanying text by local historian Barbara Siepker provides historical background that incorporates personal anecdotes of the owners and early Glen Lake residents. These cozy summer lake cottages in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes are viewed against the backdrop of early summer tourism in the first half of the twentieth century in northern Michigan.

Whether one's interest begins with a cottage's history, architecture, interior or family narrative, what will remain is the special sense of place and state of mind that only a lake cottage can evoke.

Book Lake Michigan s Aircraft Carriers

Download or read book Lake Michigan s Aircraft Carriers written by Paul M. Somers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Michigan's Aircraft Carriers is the story of the USS Wolverine and the USS Sable, two Great Lakes excursion ships converted for use as aircraft carrier training during World War II. Through the duration of the war, the United States Navy qualified 17,800 pilots for aircraft carrier operation. Training the pilots on either the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean would have exposed the training ships to the danger of submarine attack, while requiring the escort of fighting ships that were needed elsewhere. It would also have involved arming and armoring the ships used for training. Commander R.F. Whitehead came up with an idea that solved all of these problems. He suggested doing the training on the protected waters of the Great Lakes. The USS Wolverine and the USS Sable were chosen and thus became the only fresh water, paddle-wheeled, coal-fired aircraft carriers in the history of the world. Author Paul M. Somers shares his collection of vintage photos and a lifetime of research to detail the history of these two great vessels-from their life as cruise ships to their contributions to the war effort and then to their eventual scrapping.

Now approaching middle age, the women are facing challenges they never imagined as teens, struggles with their marriages, their children, their careers, and wondering who it is they see when they look in the mirror. Then Liz, V and Rachel each receive a letter from Emily with devastating news. She implores the girls who were once her best friends to reunite at Camp Birchwood one last time, to spend a week together revisiting the dreams they’d put aside and repair the relationships they’d allowed to sour.
