Excerpt from A Military and Topographical Atlas of the United States; Including the British Possessions Florida
Lake Huron is, after Lake Superior, the largest in the world be; ing about 050 miles long, and in circumference 1100. The northern part bf 'the lake is studded with numerous islands, and the naviga tion through it is very good. There are a number of bays in this lake, the most remarkable of which is Thunder Bay, so called from the frequent storms of thunder and lightning in its vicinity. Tra vellers, in passing this part of the lake, hardly ever escape encoun tering them. A small round cloud first appears, enlarging as it ap proaches, and spreading a gloom over a considerable extent. From this cloud the lightnings flash in all directions, while the thunder roars with more tremendous peals than in any other part of Ame rica.
