"Reading this book, I learned a great deal about a region that was key in several wars in our nation's history, from the French & Indian War into Civil War rebel incursions. What is most enjoyable is the writing. Van de Water's writing style is erudite yet wryly amusing. The man could write. Military history buffs will find it fascinating, and anyone who travels to the lakes for the scenery and outdoor activities, but wishes to delve more deeply into the lakes' history, will find it a worthwhile read."
