The father-and-son author team has roots on Owasco Lake stemming from a summer camp purchase in 1941 by high school history teacher Clarence L. Williams, still enjoyed by the family to this day. It is the fourth Arcadia book for Paul Williams. Auburn native Charles Williams has been collecting Owasco memorabilia since the 1950s, and the two have completed a postcard book on Skaneateles Lake.
