First sentence: It wasn’t really so long ago; it hardly seems right to refer to the story as “history.” My great-great grandparents on my father’s side were among the original settlers of South Manitou Island.
Description: Learn about the natural and human history of the Manitou Passage, from glacier to National Park! This small book offers a light, sometimes romantic, conspectus written in the conversational style of the popular broadcast series, “Alistair Cooke’s America.”
