From the publisher: The Great Lakes are home to some of America's most thriving industries and also to some of her most beautiful scenery. Detroit, Chicago, Duluth - the image is of big business, factories that are never still. Yet within reach there are miles of golden sand, glittering waters and silent forests. From early days, these lakes have provided vital trade routes for both America and Canada; today they make up the agricultural and industrial heartland of the United States. The area is still rich in Indian lore - indeed, echoes of the time when only Indians inhabited the vast wilderness are to be found in the names of many towns and rivers. Then came the French fur traders, the lumberjacks and the miners, and the foundations of today's mighty cities were laid. This book presents the reader with a vivid picture of this diverse and fascinating part of the United States. .
