註釋
"Mysterious Islands is a fascinating historical journey to islands in the vast basin of the five Great Lakes. Standing remote and alone, islands have been central to some of the most important, outrageous, and tragic events in Great Lakes history, from a decisive and bloody naval battle in the War of 1812, to Prohibition rumrunning, to harrowing tales of shipwreck and rescue. The waves of time have left many islands behind, but remnants of the past still mark their shores- burial grounds, grand hotels, abandoned quarries, lighthouses, strategic forts, and even a castle."--
