This book is the first to explore the history of a 1908 communal Cottage Row called The Colony, and also the nearby 1889 summer resort called Fountain Point. This history directly concerns Lake Leelanau, Michigan, but it also reflects major social and economic changes shared with many other parts of the United States due to the growth in the late 19th century of vacationing as a culmination of the Industrial Revolution.

We explore these issues by telling the stories of the six families who joined The Colony, and other families who then built summer cottages nearby. They ran the gamut from a retired widow and a traveling salesman, to a distinguished physician, to two wealthy owners of the Ohio company that first invented and sold KitchenAid appliances.

Hayward Draper’s meticulous unfolding of the history of The Colony not only sheds light on the era’s economic history but also encourages readers to explore the histories of their own idyllic vacation spots, including several he mentions created by members of the African American community. Draper’s book is both a fascinating read and a major contribution to scholarship. -Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Harvard University

Draper weaves together interesting stories of a diverse cast of characters with factual and charming appeal. This original research sheds new light on the history of Lake Leelanau, Fountain Point, and the interplay between original settler families and newly arriving vacationers. Since it ties this in with similar developments across America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it merits reading by anyone. -Kim Kelderhouse Director, Leelanau Historical Society

It works
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Because of cancer, my mouth does not produce saliva at night while I'm sleeping. This product helps a lot, it could have a more spearmint taste, but it works

Save your money......
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I had high hopes for this, but sadly, it fell short. I have to wear a CPAP mask at night & the dry mouth is just one of the things I hate about it. I saw this, read the reviews & decided to give it a try. I used it per the directions, but it really did nothing to alleviate the dry mouth. I'm giving it 2 stars because it doesn't taste bad, but that's the only good thing I can say about this.

Very Helpful with dry mouth due to Autoimmune illnesses
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have an illness that causes very dry mouth and nothing seems to work even a $65.00 prescription that was recommended. My hygienist suggested I try Salivea, so I got the spray. I can honestly say nothing has work quite like this. It's only been a few days but I also bought the toothpaste and mouthwash. I'm highly impressed so thank you Loretta for recommending
