I picked up on "rumor that a cottage may have been built in the 1930's
by a prison work detail" I am very interested in any historical tidbits
or more about the Dolly Islands (the Dollies). The names of the smaller
islands are vague; one map depicts one of the smallest as "Piano Island"
I wonder about the origin. legends and facts etc. I would appreciate any
enlightenment as I am writing a book about these islands. The book is
actually from a naturalist's perspective, but some historic info would be
very helpful. "Aunt" Dolly of course has been well researched and I have
explored her shoreline livestock pen many times. Thanks.
