A Record of Old Boats
Randolph Edgar
1933; historical-society reprint in 1984
A compact account of steam navigation on Lake Minnetonka beginning in 1860. Its vessel histories preserve a part of lake life when boats carried people and supplies as well as pleasure passengers.
Especially useful when a captain's name, an old landing or a vessel appears in a local history. The boats help explain how the lake's communities were connected.
