This is the story of the people, places and events that have shaped the shoreline of Lake Mendota, Madison's greatest lake, as we know it today. It is the story of iceboaters, sailors, fishers, hunters, explorers, politicians, entertainers, lifeguards, boat captains, inventors, scientists and Olympians, much of it in their own words. Don Sanford spent over a decade preparing this social history of Lake Mendota. His work assembles the personal experiences of people who lived, worked, and played on the lake with the events that shaped Madison, the Badger State, and the nation.The first book of its type, On Fourth Lake is illustrated with more than 500 maps, newspaper articles, and photographs. Many of the images were sourced from private collections and are exhibited to the public for the very first time.

"God's Country" was the first name by which I knew the Adirondack Mountains. When I came Eagle Bay in 1937 as John Petersen's wife, I had carried with me since 1917 a mental picture of its beauty. That was when I had first met John, and at that time his description of the country he lived in and loved fitted the name by which he called it. Twenty years later when he brought me to Eagle Bay from Texas, he said we would live in God's Country. Two days after arriving in Eagle Bay I walked down to the beach. Looking over the blue waters of Fourth Lake to the triple rim of the mountains surrounding it with Dollar and Cedar Island lying in the middle of the lake, and the lush evergreens and majestic trees covering the mountains and the islands, it was not difficult for me to see God's handiwork in it at all. Truly I had come to see God's Country. Clara V. O'Brien
