Title	Pocket Guide to Sandusky, Lakeside and the Islands
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Business and Labor Transportation Description and travel
Place	Sandusky (Ohio) Lakeside (Ohio) Lake Erie Islands (Ohio) Erie County (Ohio) Ottawa County (Ohio)
Description	This 64-page illustrated guidebook documents leisure activities available on the western end of Lake Erie in the late nineteenth century. The item is 3.75" x 5.75" (9.5 x 14.6 cm). It lists attractions, excursions, businesses and transportation schedules for steamboats, railroads, and carriages. Included are descriptions of Cedar Point, Sandusky, Put-in-Bay and Lakeside. A lecture program for the annual Sunday School encampment at the Methodist retreat at Lakeside is also published in the tourist guide. Although better known for shipping, manufacturing and fishing, by the late nineteenth century Sandusky and the Erie islands began to make their mark as a resort region. In 1882 B.F. Dwelle leased the Cedar Point peninsula and built a walkway across the water, bathhouses and boat-rental stations. The author of the History of Erie County wrote in 1889: "all that is needed to bring thousands every summer to Sandusky, where hundreds now come, is a wider knowledge of its advantages, which may be enumerated under the heads of cheapness, beauty, health, social delight, bathing, fishing and sailing."
