Publisher Description
In 1830, William and Mary Butler entered the Saugatuck harbor and began the first permanent settlement of Allegan County. Within half a century of the Butlers arrival, the mysteries and grandeur of the Saugatuck-area landscape were legendary and were incorporated into the prose and poetry of many writers, including Carl Sandburg, James Fennimore Cooper, and Edgar Lee Masters. By 1910 an unending stream of visitors filed in, some with paintbrushes to the summer Art colony, some armed with hammers to build cottagesand some with cameras. This book of amateur photographs is an attempt to give voice to some of the thousands of people who came to several little villagesSaugatuck and others nearbyalong the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. The snapshots are entertaining to be sure, but more than that they provide a fascinating window to the past and how people responded and contributed to the mystique of this gorgeous landscape.
