Book Description

Excerpt from Sketches and Stories of the Lake Erie Islands While the author lays no claim to the dignity of an historian, her aim throughout has been to unearth and to preserve every available fact bearing upon the general history of these beautiful isles. Central, and most sig nificant of historic facts attaching thereto, is that so strikingly shown by their renown as the scene of Perry's Victory, Sept. Loth, 1918, the Centennial anniversary of which this book is designed to commemorate. A former Souvenir Edition of Sketches and Stories, issued in 1898, was sold out soon after publication, while the demand for same has continued, a demand which the author is now able to supply.
