Click here to learn more about Jim Millard's books!Praise for Jim Millard's  LAKE PASSAGES: A Journey through the Centuries...
"...thank you for having produced such a wonderful book. The book has a haunting theme that thrills. One somehow feels as if being paddled on canoe trips, or steered on board sloops and other vessels alongside the ghostly figures of our heroes through those magnificent lakes and rivers of unequalled beauty. It gives the feeling of being there as no other book of its kind does. For those with a passion for the history of these waters, this book is a must...The many photos of the valley's landmarks, monuments, statues, forts and panoramic views, make all so worthwhile an additive to pleasant reading."    Stanley W. Gomez- Gibraltar

Praise for "Fort Montgomery: Through the Years..."
 "...a superb job of researching and writing...the effort alone in gathering these rare photographs and interpreting the ruins is remarkable." Dr. Russell P. Bellico- Historian/Author
"Sails and Steam in the Mountains: A Maritime and Military History of Lake George and Lake Champlain"

Weaver II- Historian/Author
"A Legacy in Brick and Stone- American Coastal Defense Forts of the Third System, 1816-1867"
