Summary
From the Native water monster who raised canoe-killing storms to thousand-foot cargo ships, sailing the Great Lakes has inspired autobiography, folksong, poetry, drama, and fiction about some of the most beautiful, most dangerous, waters in the world. In the words of those who lived them, here are stories of dangers and triumphs, ghosts and mysteries, and daredevil risks and losses. White Squall is a history of the Great Lakes written by those who knew them best in all times and all weathers from the beginning to the present.
