Scope and Content

Three copies of "Early Days on the Lake Shore" written by Dorothy Garesche Holland. This entry also includes a pdf of a slightly different version of the manuscript that once resided on the SDHC website, plus another version that is nearly identical.

Context

Summer cottagers from St. Louis have visited the Douglas lakeshore since the turn of the century. In 1977 Dorothy "Dot" (Garesche) Holland undertook to record her impressions of the early years. These recollections were revised in 1983. When she visited the 1997 exhibit. Painting the Town: A Century of Art in Saugatuck and Douglas, which included a painting done by Marie Garesche which Mrs. Holland had loaned to the Society, she promised us a copy of her manuscript, but died the following year, in her nineties. This copy was kindly furnished by Vincent H. Beckman, a member of the Cincinnati contingent of summer cottagers.
