A vivid depiction of Thousand Islands life expands on the author's acclaimed Boldt Castle: In Search of the Lost Story.

Description
Over two hundred historic illustrations that have been restored and enhanced accompany the recollected conversations, evocative impressions, and decades of historical research to reconstruct the incredible, vanished international resort as it was a hundred years ago. Castles and cottages, grand hotels and splendid steam yachts, skiffs and powerboats, scandals and high society form a community portrait. Three other "castles" of the Thousand Islands are included along with insights about famous builders and their families.

Author
Paul Malo, professor emeritus at Syracuse University, is author of many books and articles about historic buildings in New York State.
