Description
Renowned photographer John de Visser and Thousand Islands writer and resident Patricia Fleming take us on a picture-perfect tour of one of North America's most scenic and historically rich summer vacation destinations. This unrivaled collection of photographs and essays evokes Thousand Islands life on both sides of the St. Lawrence River, with stops at Kingston, Gananoque and Brockville, Clayton, Cape Vincent and Alexandria Bay, Boldt Castle, the International Bridge, the Lost Channel, islands large and small, as well as the marshes and mainlands that line this storied 60-mile stretch of water. Attend a world-class antique boat show, visit 1000 Islands Park, meet the Gananoque mailboat and attend RiverFest. Like the monster muskie that prowl the depths of the mighty St. Lawrence, each photo and essay in this marvelous book is a keeper.
