Castles and Cottages: River Retreats of the Thousand Islands
by George Fischer, Anthony Mollica, Gary DeYoung (Foreword by)
Synopsis
For more than one hundred fifty years the Thousand Islands have remained one of North America's favorite summer vacation regions. Visitors come to the Islands in the summer are drawn to the tour boats that cruise close by the spectacular river homes. Many homes are historic sites and hold fascinating tales of the families that built them.
Often tour boat guides stimulate the curiosity of passengers with interesting, but ever-so-brief tales of island homes as the boat passes by. Returning to shore the tourists are still curious to learn more about the homes observed during their tour. Castles and Cottages was especially written for those who visit or live in the Thousand Islands. The book explores several of the island homes and the interesting families who built them.
Award-winning photographer, George Fischer, has captured the magnificent beauty of the river homes of the Thousand Islands in spectacular fashion. His photography will take readers around and inside many of the homes to help satisfy their wonderment about interior design and furnishings.
Local author, Anthony Mollica, provides readers with a series of fascinating stories about the homes and their families. The author writes about early hunting retreats, hundred-foot houseboats, fifty-room cottages, boathouse residences and the spectacular castles of a bygone time.
Castles and Cottages will help satisfy the curiosity of residents and visitors who enjoy the Thousand Islands and have always yearned to know more about the true stories connected to the island homes.

Dennis McCarthy and Skip Couch, scuba divers for over 40 years document in the “Shipwrecks of the Thousand Islands” the lost ships which are casualties of war and conflict, natural disasters and human error. Many Photos from the "Corbin River Heritage Collection".

"The OLD FORT" - Reprint of the 1889 book “The Old Fort, Carleton Island in the Revolution” written by Major James H. Durham, a West Point Graduate and Civil War Veteran. After moving to Cape Vincent in the late 1870’s he became interested in the ruins on Carleton Island and the group of stone chimneys on the bluff above its north bay. They were enclosed in a massive earthwork that provided an outline of a large military fort with its barracks and magazines. People had different ideas about when and who actually built the fort. He undertook the writing of the Old Fort to clarify the island’s names and to identify the fort’s builders and its history. Introduction by Kathryn C. McCarthy
