Announcing the release of the new
book "The Comedy of Crystal Lake" (2015); the unanticipated
sequel to The Tragedy of Crystal Lake (1922). It's all about the 1873 lowering
of Crystal Lake in Benzie County, Michigan, and a biography of Archibald Jones,
the man behind the operation, and his Benzie County River Improvement Company.
Dr. Daniels describes the book
as...
"Being a Summary Chronicle
with Many More Sidelights, of a Tale written in Two Parts, describing a seemingly
Ill-Fated Historical Event, so epochal in its nature as to have had a permanent bearing
upon the development and future of Benzie County in Northwestern Lower Michigan,
together with myriad viewpoints of its diverse characters and sundry locales and
&c, &c."
