A flood of memories pours through these pages, unfolding the simple neighborly pleasures of early lakeside living on Crooked Lake in 1902.
It is packed with historical highlights when tourist excursion steamboats plied the waters of the Inland Route and tugs towed
booms of logs to mills on its shores.
The role of railroads introducing tourism as the economy destined to supplant lumbering is well told. The interurban Dummy
Train system gave all the communities of this area ready access to one another.
It is a happy chronicle of resort life. To older residents this story will bring pleasant memories, to newcomers, an enlightening appreciation of the background of the region. This book is a tribute to the soul-soothing tranquility of Michigan's summers.
