Arranged alphabetically by title.

The American Lakes Series

This series was started in 1944 by The Bobbs-Merrill Company. Its initial focus was to provide a comprehensive history of the five Great Lakes. As the series progressed it appeared to the editor, Milo M. Quaife, and the publisher that there was a demand from the public for more titles devoted to other American Lakes. As a result, five additional titles were added.
