A genuine labor of love, Loy Harrell has recognized 61 individual
decoy carvers, from past to present, located around Lake Champlain.
Listed alphabetically, each carver is briefly discussed and examples
of their work are illustrated in 263 beautiful color photographs and
52 black and white. There are 352 decoys featured in all. Dr.
Harrell has brought his enthusiasm to the reader through personal
interviews with many of these accomplished carvers and adeptly
portrays the true personality of decoy enthusiasts of the Lake
Champlain area. This book is the first of its kind for the Lake
Champlain area and pays a long awaited tribute to its carvers and
the decoys they have and still are creating.
