Elizabeth B. Sherman, a native of Muskegon who maintains close ties to the region, has spent over a decade pursuing interests related to Great Lakes maritime history. She is on the board of directors for the Great Lakes Mantime Institute, and is a member of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society and the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History.
Beyond the Windswept Dunes is a great treatment of local history.
It's well-researched, carefully documented, and appealingly
written. It's the most thorough and authoritative discussion I've
seen of Muskegon's maritime history and it will be a very valuable
resource as a result.--C. Patrick Labadie "Historian, Thunder Bay
National Marine Sanctuary & Underwater Preserve"
Beyond the Windswept Dunes is a wonderful contribution to Great
Lakes history. It provides a fresh and detached examination of the
many maritime disasters of the historic Lake Michigan port of
Muskegon. [This book] will be an important part of my Great Lakes
library.--Frederick Stonehouse "Maritime Historian"
In telling the story of Muskegon's ships Sherman has made a
contribution to the developing story of Lake Michigan history. Her
research is solid and her prose is always lively. By focussing on
one of the Inland Sea's secondary ports, Sherman has opened up new
ground and because of this the book is a worthy addition to the
library of any Great Lakes historian.-- "International Journal of
Maritime History"
