Beautiful and deadly, the Lake Erie islands off the coast of Ohio have seen their fair share of disasters. The Victory Hotel on South Bass Island at Put-in-Bay was once the largest hotel in the nation. But the grand residence was reduced to ashes after a spark quickly became a raging, uncontrollable inferno. Reports of smallpox on Pelee Island resulted in mass hysteria and the quarantine of an entire island. At the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse, one light keeper was frozen in for days with his deceased colleague until he could make a desperate escape. Wendy Koile chronicles the fiercest calamities to shatter the tranquility of these solitary shores.

In response to a request,in 2009, by the Lake Erie Island Chapter of the Black Swamp Conservancy, the Flora of the Erie Islands: Its Origin, History and Change is published to assist their conservation activities and programs. Completed in 1976 and, in 1979, scheduled to be although not published, xerographic copies of the manuscript were provided to researchers studying the islands' flora. As a result, the unpublished manuscript was widely cited in publications during the past 35 years and,in published form, remains a primary research resource concerning the flora of the Erie Archipelago.
