Embark on a nostalgic journey with Raymond Smiley Spears' A Trip on the Great Lakes, a vivid account of a summer expedition in 1912. This captivating narrative chronicles the author's adventures as a 'skiff traveler' exploring the natural wonders of the Great Lakes region. Spears, an ardent lover of the outdoors, shares his observations on the abundant fish, fur-bearing animals, and game that characterized the area over a century ago.
More than just a travelogue, this book provides a snapshot of a bygone era, offering insights into the lifestyle and environment of the early 20th century. Readers will be transported to a time when the Great Lakes teemed with wildlife and the simple pleasures of outdoor exploration were paramount. A Trip on the Great Lakes is a must-read for history buffs, nature enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a glimpse into America's past.
