Produktinformationen zu „Lake Boon (ePub)“
Lake Boon was originally formed by a melting glacier hundreds of years ago; for most of its life it was a simple body of water hiding in the woods. But in the late 1800s, it suddenly took on a very exciting existence as a summer resort for several reasons: first, the lake was enlarged in order to provide waterpower to a nearby mill and was left in this enlarged state when the mill switched to electric power; second, two different railroad lines with connections to Boston were built that passed within a few miles of the lake; and third, the lake was just the right distance from Boston to attract many of its residents to the lake,s shore during the summer.
Autoren-Porträt von Lewis Halprin
Fortunately, local photographer Alexander Berry took many photographs in the early 1900s with his 5-by-7 glass-plate camera. These photographs survived and are now in the collection of local historian Richard Conard. They are featured in this book and show how the vacationers at Lake Boon had fun¿boating, swimming, hunting, and hosting parties. They show the clothing styles worn, which were mostly full-length and formal, even in the water! Also featured are the many types of structures that were built, from simple tents, small cabins, three-story summer homes, little stores, and meeting halls to a full-size hotel. So go ahead: open this book and let it take you back to a time when little Lake Boon provided big helpings of summertime fun.
