Fox Lake, nestled as it is in the the heart of the chain, has been one of the Chicago area�s favorite recreation destinations for over 100 years. Starting in the late 1800s, wealthy sportsmen constructed clubs that sparked an era often referred to as the �resort heyday.� An explosion of resorts and cottages beckoned tourists to come to hunt, fish, enjoy nature�s gifts, or be entertained. In 1910, the Chicago Tribune referred to the area as the �Vice Capital,� noting the openness of gambling, saloons, dance halls, and more. Through the magic of vintage postcards, some of the ghosts of the past are brought to life in this book�scenery, structures, boats, and people gone but not totally forgotten.
