Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History
Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History celebrates the history of one of America’s most historic lakes – Lake Champlain. Separating the states of New York and Vermont. A natural water ‘highway’ 120 miles long, it connects Whitehall, NY and New York City (via the Champlain Canal and Hudson River) to Montreal and Quebec in Canada (via the Richelieu and St. Lawrence Rivers). These two routes inland from the Atlantic Ocean and have had a historic impact on both the United States and Canada, as well as, the states of New York, Vermont and the province of Quebec.
Four hundred years of Champlain history are portrayed in over 300 color photographs, drawings, maps and vintage images. This beautiful coffee table book covers the natural, military, social and recreational history of the lake and its towns. Chapters on the First People of the Champlain Basin, the lake’s vital military and transportation history, the cities, towns and villages along the lake, and the sport and recreational opportunities are beautifully explored by regional writers.
Published by Adirondack Life in Jay, New York, Lake Champlain: An Illustrated History is a great book for those who love the lake, history buffs, and nature lovers.
