The tourist passes many places of interest because he has no guide, and no one to tell him. He frequently misses many things of im- portance because he does not know where, or how, to find their. One frequently loses time, and spends much money, that might be saved by having a good guide book. How many times the student has returned to finish an incompleted tour, because he had afterwards learned of so many things of interest that he had missed. The his- tory and geology of a region cannot always be told accurately by even those living in proximity. One, with a guide at hand, can plan tours, while enroute, and save much time and be spared of many inconveniences and •"♦irruptions. After many years of experience in travel, I have found it always the cheapest to buy a guide, even if it were not complete. This one is not perfect, but much time has been put upon it; the author writes from experience of travel in the regions considered in this book; has studied many helps, and has done the best he could. Hoping it may be a help to you, and that it may be your con- stant companion, I shall feel very grateful if it in any way adds to your sum of knowledge, or relieves you of any dej. :.' of embarrass- ment or anxiety while you are traveling.

Upon her waters Perry built and launched his tleet and with them conquered the British tleet and won tor himself laurels that shall never fade. On her shores Joshua R.

Garfield first saw the light on the banks of Lake Erie, and Hayes spent his last days and now sleeps by the side of his noble wife, only a few miles south of the shore. This people gave to the war of '61, such generals a^ Stedman, Mcpherson, Beaty and Buckland. While her Wade, presided over the Committee on the "State of the war", and her Jay Cooke was the Financial Agent for the Nation, handling in one year three thou- sand millions of dollars. A Nation's Chief Justice walked the shores of Lake Erie and the world's two greatest electricians Edison and Brush played in the sands of IV\ilan and Cleveland. Their Tourgee wrote novels, and their Kennan traveled through Siberian wilds, and Spencer the Apostle of modern penmanship drew graceful curves, and Harvey put her lan- guage into finer mold.

This groove, is by no means simple, but presents a series of cor- rugati(3ns merging into each other by beautiful curves, it resembles a collection of prostrate Corinthian columns lying side bv side on a concave surface. The direction of these grooves is south of west, the line of the axis of the lake. Several important and interesting glacial markings have been photographed and described but have been' destroyed. The other things of interest on the Island are the old beach, which is near the Huntington Street Division, and the Indian mounds nearby, and the "Inscription Rock," which is on the south shore, just east of the dock farthest east, and a few hundred feet east of the prin- ciple dock. This rock is pronounced by schoolcrafts to be the most exten- sive, well sciilptured and best preserved inscription of the antiquarian period ever found in America. The rock is a limestone, scratched by the glaciers, sculptured by the Eries; it is 33 feet long, 21 feet wide and 10 feet high.

Here the teacher and scholar, men of letters and science mingle in great delight as they study the wonders and beauties of creation and have unfolded to their minds a remote history full of events greater than those written by man. The many features of this peninsula and of other portions of this region will best be taken separately. It is a center of Aesthetic Culture. "The coves of the rocky shore against which the long waves dash in white foam and spray, the high weather-beaten docks, the winding path in the dark forests, the rocks and vines of the deserted quarry, the different tints of the rocks and their drapery of mosses and vines and tiny plants, the great marshes extending several miles in the land, the home of the beautiful white and gold pond lily, all conspire to make Lakeside a beautiful center of aesthetic culture."" "From the hotel piazza hundreds watch the changing surface of the lake, shifting from sea-green to molten gold, from azure to pearly purple, till, at length, the great golden sun-ball sinks into the wave, leaving the sky flushed to the very zenith. Against the precipitous! rocky shores, the waves play mad capers when storm is king; around the old lighthouse at Marblehead Point, they sweep and swirl, then leaping higher and higher, spend themselves in feathery foam. To describe the many lovely green nooks and coves in and about Lake- side would transcend the province of this article. The old quarry, stately and classic, must, however, not be forgotten. Imbedded in the coolest and mossiest green wood, its seamed sides vine-clad and mellowed by age, it is a retreat full of artistic beauty and scientific interest."

LAKE ERIE AND NIAGARA FALLS. 4i BOTANY. The rich location of Lakeside as a botanical field for study and investigation has but recently come to be recognized, as a matter of fact, few places can be found so advantageous for investigation along the line of weeds and plants, fresh water algae, curious and rare wa- ter plants, fern, lichens, both those on the trees and those along the coast. The ground on which are placed the cottages furnish most in- teresting material for the study of forestry. Trees are found here which are rare elsewhere. Those interested in fungi and algae will find luxuriant material always at hand. The hot rocky shores yield a large variety of flowers of gorgeous coloring, fed by water near at hand and developed by heated air from the rocks. There are a great variety of common plants found here. During the Assembly Lake- side flora are studied under the inspiration and leadership of men of authority. Prof. Mosley, of Sandusky, an authority on the . Flora of Erie County and the Island region, says: "We believe there is no other local collection of Ohio plants that approaches within three-hundred species of the number collected in the past seven years, in Erie coun- ty and eastern part of Ottawa county, and now preserved at the San- dusky High School." The following is his number of species found on the Islands, 612. On Kelley's Island 461. Put-in-Bay _ 439. Middle Bass 306. North Bass 282. Rattlesnake i92. Green Island 1 1 5. In all England there are 1200 native phenogams. In Sandusky district there are over 1 100. BATHING, ROWING, FISHING AND PLEASURE EXCURSIONS. There are fine bathing beaches at Put-in-Bay, Kelley's, Cedar Point, and Sandy Beach, near Lakeside. You will find pure water, sandy bottom, no stone nor dangerous places, reaching out for ^Jmt}ii»»m^v^.f 42 TOURISTS' ILLUSTRATED GUIDE near half a mile in the pure warm water ot Lake Ene. Row.ng yachting are also favorite pastimes. This is where some of the i eSportsmen come for fishing.

The intellectual man is cared for The Assembly platform at- tords the best lectures, entertainments musical festivals and able ser^ :onl at a very small cost to the people of the 'sl-d re.K>.^ a cities on the lake. Excursions are run every year, so tha parties tan flavel at low rates, and tourists rates are given upon all lines during the season. There are many excursions that may be taken from Lakeside or from other points. Excursions are run almost daily around the Is- llnTs for 25'«. 35 cents, visiting all points of interest which are pointed out in the Guide. A pleasant ramble on Lakeside may be taken east along the shore, by the mas" ve moss covered and glacier plowed -ks the power house the bicycle rink, the park and the grove to the Lite Saxmg Sn Here is a Government Life Saving Station; there are njany on the lake Here men are on duty day and night changing ot^ to I sufficent rest, one standing every h- ur at the end of the dock ookinTo over the lake with glass in hand, while ^-ther bea s the shore to the posts you see standing on the beech; one near th Lake- side dock, where they turn the key that registers their beat.

Prof. Duval says of this quarry: "Several remarkable glacial grooves furrow its sides, and in- numerable fossils are incrusted in its surface. Professor Frederick Wright, of Oberlin, editor of Bibliotheca Sacra, one of the foremost geologists in the land, brings his classes to Lakeside each year for the study of rare geological phenomena. Many other scientists resort here to pursue their investigations." Now sit down and study the geology of Ohio, the peninsula, and the Islands. Page 45. You can go on to the government light-house, which is open for visitors daily except Sunday, from 1 to 2 p. m. The lady who keeps the light-house is the widow of the man who was appointed light- house keeper by the lamented and much honored Captian Gridley, who tired the first gun in the famous battle of Manila. The light-houses of our country are under the Naval departhient while the Life Saving Stations are under the Treasury department of the nation. Another interesting trip by carriage or boat, and any of these trips can be taken by boats landing at docks convenient, is to go around the Bay View road; going west from Lakeside, then sputh after crossing railroad, going now south, notteing the high altitude above the lake the old terrace at the left hand sjde as you go south ; then turning east you see Johnson's Island to your right, a half mile across the bay. This body of water is Sandusky bay, the mouth of Sandusky river. Sandusky city lies three miles south-east of you. You pass a monument which will not be noticed without some care, just south of a spring house. This monument stands just south of the road along the bay, and near it is a spring house and spring. It was erected in memory of three men. Mason, Simonds and Mingus, who were shot by Indians Sept. 29, 1812. The Indians made their attack upon the party and drove the others into a block house which stands near the stone house just east on the opposite side of the road. They were kept here if m\' 44 TOURISTS' ILLUSTRATED GUIDE three days without food and water until sutficient number of men could assemble to drive the Indian warriors away. Joshua RGid- dings was one of the number; he was born in Pennsylvania, m l7.^ and was \1 years old at the time of the action. After Hull surrendered to the British, Giddmgs joined the U. b^ Armv After the seige had been raised and the men were deliver, d from the fear of starvation they each pledged that in tlfty years from that day they would hold a reunion of the survivors. Joshua R Giddings in 1858, while a member of Congress, visited the peninsula and leff money with Mr. Wright, who lives near by. for the purpose of erecting the monument preparatory to the reunion. On Septem- ber 29th 1862. Mr. Giddings kept his word and went to the spot, only to 'stand alone, he being the only survivor of the battle, fifty years afterwards. 80LDIBB8' MONUMBHT. .

To the Gj psum beds, at Gypsum, eight miles south-west, going by Marblehead railroad, or by carriage. Here are gypsum beds, where plaster, or better known as Plaster-of-paris, is dry boiled, for it is calcined by heat. The finest parts used for chalk, and the coarser parts go for land plaster or fertilizer. Gypsum is a sulphate of lime, formed by the action of SO, or sulphuric acid on lime. You pass through a great fruit coun- try in going to Gypsum. You can return to Lakeside and refresh your mind by a lecture, concert or some wholesome entertainment. You can spend a quiet Sabbath and listen to earnest and faithful sermons. Other excursions in this region will be planned from Sandusky. GEOLOGY OF OHIO, MARBLEHEAD PENINSULA AND ISLANDS. (Sec map on page 40. ) By looking on the map you will see that you are situated on the Devonian Limestone. Just west of you is the more ancient Silurian. The Devonian shale extends along the shore eastward and in for a few miles until you reach Pennsylvania. Here a portion of the east- ern part of Pennsylvania, is the lower Carboniferous, extending through New York State, along the lake to within 20 miles of Buffalo, where begins the Devonian and near Buffalo begins the Upper Silur- ian, which continues along the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Now follow the line of terminal moraine in Ohio; all west and north of the line is the glaciated region. Next the Cincinnati Axis, which in other words is the Trenton Limestone, which defines the oil and gas area of Ohio and Indiana. The line runs, strictly speaking, northwest and not northeast as generally taught. It extends up into Indiana, and an arm called the Lima branch enters Ohio in Mercer county, which runs to Lima; thence northward and turning westward in Wood county towards the northwest corner of the state, passing through Findlay where occurs a monocline of marked geological interest. The rock falling several hundred feet in a few miles. You take up the study of the Lake Erie regions with interest.

This was the south east corner of the stockade; run a line south thence west and north, thence east and south, back to the block house, and you have .something of an idea of the enclosure. Three hundred yards north and west of the block house, back of a clump of trees, was the old fort; a notable conspiracy took place in 1864. in connection with Johnson's hi; nd, in which an attempt was made to capture the gunboat Michigan, and the boats running between Sandusky and T(tledo and Detroit, release the prisoners on the Island and at Columbus, Indianapolis and Chicago, 26,000 in number. This conspiracy was planned by the arch traitor, Jacob Thomp- son, at the seat of the Southern Confederacy, and was attempted by himself, who operated in Canada, and Colonel Cole, an officer of Gen. Le.-'s army, John Yates Beall a wealthy young Virginian; also an officer, and a female spy, Miss Annie Davis. Cole established himself at the West House, Sandusky, as an oil speculator and dealer, from Titusville, Pa. ; he deposited a large sum of money in the banks, fared sumptuously, and made himself a warm friend of the ot!icers of Johnson's island and gunboat Michigan. Beall went on the bo.its of the lake as a deck hand and learned all about the boats and aiTairs along the lake from Detroit and Toledo to Sandusky; he also kept in touch with Thompson and his accom- plices in Canada. Miss Davis assisted Cole in his work. Cole wrote business letters to Major Trimble, a prisoner, at Johnson's Island; he wrote between the lines with an invisible ink which Trimble devel- oped after receivi:ig the letter and a large number of prisoners were let in the plot under the most solemn oath to keep it secret and to strike for freedom when the time came. On September 19. 1864, was the day set for final action. Cole had arranged to banquet the otiicers on the gunboat Michigan at night, and to drug them and give a signal by firing a cannon for Beall and his men and Cole's men, who were on board the captured "Philo Parsons" and in fishing boats about Sandusky. Beall had gone on board the Philo Parsons as she was leaving Detroit for San- I! 7 w ,:®5=*si«!»siS»«»sia*.'«- ■>JI(WSS2«!«»»c:^Tiat'..'r^^»r;??*»R*ftVls*^ n ^' a:\ 1- V . k\- 3t J' m ;"j'.M \v„ i dusky in the afternoon; four men got on at Sandwich, and about six- teen at Amherstberg, putting on a large old leather covered chest, but no suspicion was created. When the boat drew near the mouth of the bay. just at dark, the clerk of the boat was covered by revol- vers an4 the men on board arniid themselves with the knives, axes, revolvers and guns that were in the old chest, and took the "Philo Parsons" in the nami of the Southern Confederacy. She was run back to Middle Bass Island, where they put on wood, and wiited for thi "Island Queen" to come up on her trip from Sandusky to Toledo. When the Queen came up along side of the Par.^ons she was boarded by the conspirators and the officers were forced to surrender. The passengers of both boats were put ot? on the Island, there being no boats there, nor any means of communi- cation with the other Islands. They took with them Captain Orr, of the 'Queen," and two of his men to manage the boat, tied the two boats together and run out just south of Ballast Island, where they scuttled the "Island Queen" and set her adrift. .They then proceeded on to the mouth of the bay, within two miles of the Michigan, where they waited for the signal. But no sign coming they were frightened, lest they should be captured; and put for De- troit with all haste; the people left on Middle Bass seeing them going with all speed for the north. They left Orr and his men on Fighting Island and hastened on to Sandwich, where they robbed the boat, and took otT into Canada. Cole had, in the meantime, carried out his plot so far as to be ready to give the last toast, the wine ac- companing it was heavily drugged, when he was arrested by Capt.
