Sailing the sweetwater seas : wooden boats and ships on the Great Lakes, 1817-1940
George D. Jepson (Author)
"The story of the Great Lakes ships and boats on which the United States, barely decades old, moved to the country's middle and beyond, established a robust industrial base, and became a world power, despite enduring a bloody Civil War. In text and photographs, this book tells the story of a bygone era, of mariners and Mackinaw boats, schooners and steamboats, all helping to advance the young nation westward"-- Provided by publisher
