This richly photographed collection follows the arc of change in the peaceful Sleeping Bear Bay region in Michigan from its late 19th- and early 20th-century fishing and farming beginnings to the development of an idyllic boys camp between the 1920s and the 1960s, and eventually to its resort conversion. Organized by year, the book captures the daily life of the campers as they learn Latin, build boats, study aeronautics, grow vegetables, and raise animals; the camps history; and the development of the vacation industry that marks it today.
Explores ghosts and haunted places, local legends, cursed roads, crazy characters, and unusual roadside attractions found in Michigan.
