The Routes Pursued by the Excursion Steamers Upon the St. Lawrence River

Excerpt from The Routes Pursued by the Excursion Steamers Upon the St. Lawrence River: From Clayton and Gananoque to Westminster Park and Alexandria Bay This little book is not written with the idea that it will take the place of more pretentious guide books, nor as a history of The Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River; nor yet is it written especially in the interest of any steamboat company, nor of any particular route; but solely to point out to the visitor such places of interest among the islands as are most worthy of attention, and the means by which they may be reached. In addition, what may be termed side routes or excursions have been pointed out, which if taken will add largely to the interest of a summer tour in and around the St. Lawrence River region. Believing, also, that incidents which have occurred so long ago among and in the vicinity of the Thousand Islands as to have become history, will add much to its interest, a brief sketch of each is reproduced, and the locality in which it took place pointed out. The writer claims no originality in these sketches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
