Having spent much time admiring the Great Lakes, I was looking forward to reading this regional history, but was a bit disappointed with this book. I was initially drawn in by the romantic sweep of language, the endearing folksy style of historical writing of the 30s and 40s. But at times its absurd heavy-handedness made it clear that this was a one-sided, manifest-destiny march of progress and industry from one end of the Lakes to the other. I felt dragged along, sometimes applauding the action, other times saddened by it, but dragged nonetheless. It isn't the sort of history that would be written nowadays, the book is a bit tiresome due to its limited point of view. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A popular history of navigation on the Great Lakes and life on their shores, this text brings us aboard the crafts that have plowed the waves of the treacherous 'five sisters' carrying the lumber and minerals that fed and built the cities of America.
