Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: no Jacket, as Issued. 1st Edition. First collection of Canadian stories about the Great Lakes, the inland seas that shaped the development of Ontario, by telling the stories of people whose lives took dramatic turns on the vast lakes. People like Paul Ragueneau, the Jesuit priest who tried to save thousands of starving Hurons in 1650; the seventeenth-century dreamer Rene-Robert Cavalier de La Salle, whose luck always let him down; and Lt. Miller Worsley, who takes revenge on the loss of his little supply ship Nancy by capturing two of the American warships that sank his schooner in the War of 1812. The 300 sailors who lost their lives in the great storm of 1913 and the passengers of the steamship Algoma, torn apart on a Lake Superior beach by hurricane winds in 1885. Politics plays a role in the lore of the Great Lakes. Confederate pirates once prowled Lake Erie, hoping for a chance to attack Buffalo or Cleveland and change the outcome of the Civil War. Politicians, including Sir John A. Macdonald, have been at the mercy of the lakes in shipwrecks that have changed Ontario's history. The Great Lakes have been a stage for courage, greed, misfortune, and murder in the development of central Canada. Book is in excellent condition, tight clean, no markings, with many b&w illustrations, maps, bibliographical references and index. Publisher (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Second Printing. 253 pages. Selected bibliography. "Poses some intriguing questions and provides some startling answers. Was Columbus really a merchant sailor from Genoa, the son of humble wool-carders? Or was he, as the author suggests, possibly a French pirate, or a Mallorcan navigator, or even the scion of some royal or noble family? Offers a convincing explanation of Columbus's real mission - one of the most romantic and evocative in history." - from back cover. Above-average wear. Library markings upon half-title page.
