Told in story and picture, this work is more in the nature of a scrapbook of past outstanding incidents of the Great Lakes, compiled in an interesting manner. All are true, and the dates and stories accurate. Many are from personal interviews.Mr. Bowen has developed a large and interesting pictorial section. Lovers of both ships and books will find Memories of the Lakes much to their liking. It should be considered a handy reference book on the bygone days of the Great Lakes. Nearly 500 ships are mentioned, each accurately placed.
