Mark Sutter said History Can Be Fun. Instead of telling history with a bunch of names and dates, this book tells stories. And for that reason it was fun to read. I grew up in Perrysburg -- a suburb of Toledo -- so the chapter on Oliver Hazard Perry was especially interesting to me. New to me was all of the folklore about lake monsters which I also enjoyed reading. If you are familiar with any of the Great Lakes and if you enjoy reading history I believe you will enjoy this book
