DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Uriah Jewett and the Sea Serpent of Lake Memphemagog Uriah Jewett and his Sea Serpent Story of Lake Memphremagog so famous sixty years ago has now almost become ledgendary and many do not believe that Uriah Jewett was ever a living personage on the shores of that beautiful lake. But the note book of George C. Merrill who was purser on the steamer Mountain Maid at one time, will show that Uriah Jewett was not only made of human flesh and blood, but was a poet of the Province of Quebec. As to the sea serpent we shall leave the matter to the reader and our artist who is represented to us; as a man of great note, research and ability. He comesto us very highly recommended. He was a member of the 3d Ambulance Company of the New York National Guard. When on duty on the Mexi can border in 1916 and 1917 he was Art Editor of the Rio Grand which especially qualified him as the artist best fitted to prop erly delineate this serpent of Lake Memphremagog.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Around Lake Memphremagog is a pictorial timeline of the thirty-mile-long body of water that shares its Vermont history with Canada. The lake has for thousands of years played a critical role in the lives and history of the Wabanaki. Memlabagwok-the Abenaki name for the lake-was the waterway crossroads at the heart of the western Abenaki homelands. Since the 1600s, Lake Memphremagog has influenced the development of the northern Vermont and southern Canadian towns and villages along its shores. This combined cultural history and heritage is recalled here through sketches, vintage photographs, and postcards.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Winner of the 2007 Gray's Lake FCBC Book Award For centuries, eyewitnesses around the world—from America to Africa, Argentina to Scotland—have reported sightings of dark, mysterious creatures in area lakes that surface briefly, only to quickly disappear. While the most famous lake monsters of Loch Ness and Lake Champlain have gained international notoriety, hundreds of lakes around the world are said to shelter these shadowy creatures. Lake Monster Mysteries is the first book to examine these widespread mysteries from a scientific perspective. By using exhaustive research and results from firsthand investigations to help separate truth from myth, the authors foster our understanding of what really lurks in the cold, murky depths. Benjamin Radford and Joe Nickell are considered to be among the top lake monster authorities in the world. Here they share unique insights into many of the world's best-known lake monsters. They interview witnesses and local experts and discuss the different types of lake monster sightings, delve into possible explanations for those sightings, and examine hoaxes, evidence claims, and legends surrounding the monsters. The authors have also conducted groundbreaking fieldwork and experiments at the lakes and have examined recent photographic and sonar evidence. Incorporating newly-revealed information and up-to-date developments in the cases they present, professional monster hunters Radford and Nickell plunge into both the cultural histories of these creatures and the scientific inquiries that may hold the key to these mysteries.
