With the arrival of Europeans, the lake became a vital route between the English in New England and the French in Quebec. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts isolated beauty contrasted sharply with the bloody military campaigns that unfolded there. While enormous forts were erected, colonial villages blossomed, and 18th century naturalist Peter Kalm spread the word of its bucolic charm. William Miller attracted large audiences as he preached that the world would end in the 1840s. Valcour Island developed its own commune, and when Prohibition took effect, the towns near the Canadian border became a hotbed of bootlegging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From presidential visits to shipwrecks, local authors Jason Barney and Christine Eldred chronicle some of the lake's lesser-known contributions to American history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason Barney has published three books: \u003cem\u003eNorthern Vermont and the War of 1812\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Hidden History of Franklin County\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNorthern Vermont and the Revolutionary War\u003c\/em\u003e, all with The History Press.
