The Thousand Islands in 1909 had already passed through a long military past. During the War of 1812, the river and the eastern end of Lake Ontario were contested waters, and Sackets Harbor, a short distance inland, served as a naval base for the American side. By the early twentieth century the same channels were carrying a different traffic. Families from New York cities and the Midwest spent weeks at a time in island cottages, and residents of Jefferson County who had grown up among the rocks often worked as boatmen, caretakers, and hired hands for these visitors. Their year rose and fell with a short summer season.
