Context

“The lad who guided us down the three mile channel of the Kalamazoo River seemed dwarfed by the gigantic dance hall on the riverfront, but we never doubted for a moment that he was master.” According to Jim Schmiechen in notes from 2009, this story is based on the Chicago Tribune article, “Young and Old Enjoy Boating at Saugatuck,” Sunday Edition, August 18, 1940, by Lolita Linn.
