About the Book
Minnesotans have carried on a romance with their lakes for more than a century, and the affair shows no signs of abating. A Place at the Lake is a pictorial account of the summer houses that have proliferated along Minnesota's lakeshores -- the humble and the high-style, the nest of logs and the summer palace.
Beginning with Lake Mennetonka and the watery garland embracing the Twin Cities, the story culminates in the persisting wilderness of the Arrowhead region wedged between the boundary waters and Lake Superior. All types and styles appear, with log cabins and lakeside mansions holding places of equal dignity.
