Regional Studies / Maritime History ttutt “Elizabeth Sherman has made a notable contribution to Great Lakes maritime literature. Solid research and good reading mark this account of ships and shipwrecks along the Muskegon shore.” —James P. Barry, author of Ships of the Great Lakes and Wrecks and Rescues of the Great Lakes “Beyond the Windswept Dunes is a great treatment of local history. It’s well-researched, carefully documented, and appealingly written. It’s the most thorough and authoritative discussion I’ve seen of Muskegon’s maritime history and it will be a very valuable resource as a result.” —C. Patrick Labadie, Historian, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary & Underwater Preserve “Beyond the Windswept Dunes is a wonderful contribution to Great Lakes history. It provides a fresh and detached examination of the many maritime disasters of the historic Lake Michigan port of Muskegon. [This book] will be an important part of my Great Lakes library.” —Frederick Stonehouse, Maritime Historian ttutt Elizabeth B.
