This is a follow up of last week’s post of Ada Gerking York’s memoirs. She also observed: “Eagle Lake contains two islands, Shag and Pelican, both of which are gradually being submerged by the rising of the water. These islands are the meeting places of various water birds; in early summer, one can imagine one’s dreams of gathering eggs, as there are so many lying there on the ground. The lake is very deep near Shag Island, the bottom has not been fathomed yet. The northern wing is not so deep and according to the account of a very old Indian, this part of the lake was dry many years ago, and he with a party of Indians crossed it while hunting deer, the ground being level as a floor.”
