Lore & Legends of Long Point, Lake Erie


A Perfect Gift: "An affectionate history by Harry Barrett, a life-long resident of Port Dover, a great grandson of a keeper of the Long Point Light, and an authority on the history of the area.
Even today, although modern ways are encroaching on the Long Point Country, this remains a place where the past is close and the stories of pioneering, murders, mysteries and comic escapades are kept alive in families that have had their roots here for more than a hundred years." *
* Cover excerpt, Lore & Legends of LONG POINT, 1977.
