I love the lakes and local history, so this book really intrigued me.
However, I found it to be a little dry, it was easy for my mind to wander while reading and made some stories hard to understand. There were many stories in here, some long, some short and switching lengths was jarring to my wandering thoughts because sometimes there wasn't a clear separation of stories.
The stories I did understand and kept my full attention were really interesting! I marked some good ones and next time I come back to this I will likely browse through it rather than read it cover to cover.
The pictures were nice, there were many newspaper articles and things directly quoted, overall, a well put together, meaningful book, despite some flaws. ( )
