TRUE CANADIAN STORIES OF THE GREAT LAKES, by Mark Bourrie, is a fascinating look at central Canada's nautical history, and these stories show how the Great Lakes have not only shaped this continent, but have moulded the individuals who have braved these waters.
"The author weaves history with folklore to provide us with seventeen stories of ships that sailed the Great Lakes. I found the writing easy to read. He draws from various historical sources and the book includes a bibliography for those readers that want to dig deeper. The book would benefit from more illustrations and maps." -Reviewed by Douglas MacRae.
