Download or read book Great Lakes Island Escapes written by Maureen Dunphy and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive travelogue and guidebook exploring island adventures on many of the 135 islands accessible by ferry or bridge in the Great Lakes Basin. The Great Lakes Basin is the largest surface freshwater system on Earth. The more than 30,000 islands dotted throughout the basin provide some of the best ways to enjoy the Great Lakes. While the vast majority of these islands can only be reached by private boat or plane, a surprising number of islands—each with its own character and often harboring more than a bit of intrigue in its history—can be reached by merely taking a ferry ride, or crossing a bridge, offering everyone the chance to experience a variety of island adventures. Great Lakes Island Escapes: Ferries and Bridges to Adventure explores in depth over 30 of the Great Lakes Basin islands accessible by bridge or ferry and introduces more than 50 additional islands. Thirty-eight chapters include helpful information about getting to each featured island, what to expect when you get there, the island's history, and what natural and historical sites and cultural attractions are available to visitors. Each chapter lists special island events, where to get more island information, and how readers can help support the island. Author Maureen Dunphy made numerous trips to a total of 135 islands that are accessible by ferry or bridge in the Great Lakes Basin. On each trip, Dunphy was accompanied by a different friend or relative who provided her another adventurer's perspective through which to view the island experience. Great Lakes Island Escapes covers islands on both sides of the international border between the United States and Canada and features islands in both the lakes and the waterways that connect them. Anyone interested in island travel or learning more about the Great Lakes will delight in this comprehensive collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This biographical miscellany, AS OTHERS SEE US, is the story of but one branch of Clan Fraser, and some of the connections. It is aimed at recording how and when the ancestors of a large Scotch family came to Canada, established themselves on the land, multiplied, dispersed though not all - and where a few of the fifth and sixth generations are living today. It is not only genealogical charting, nor altogether about people. It treats also of related circumstances and events, some of historical worth not knownto have been recorded elsewhere - the early navigation of Lake St. Francis, its ships and the men who sailed them; some of the primitive rural industries, the asheries and the potash-makers, the cedar leaf oil distilling, the crossroads cheese factories, and the hopyards; and the history of a few of the first Scotch churches in Dundee and Glengarry. Five Fraser brothers left lnvemess-shire shortly after the close of the war of 1812, chose their locations in a portion of the Indian Lands of St. Regis that became the township of Dundee, the most westerly comer of Lower Canada, one of the last areas on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river opened to white settlers." __P. 6.
