Description: Shaping America's great watery wilderness
Review Quotes:
"Great Lake: An Unnatural History of Lake Michigan gives a wide-sweeping look at Lake Michigan, starting in prehistoric times when the lake was being created by the glaciers through to the present day. Each chapter is chronological and focuses on how humans have used the lake. As a real treat, he explores Chicago's lesser-known maritime history, which really is the secret to Chicago's progress (and the rise and fall of Gary, Indiana)."
