"The Dragon In The Lake", April 25, 2005 Reviewer:   Mary Jane Cole "Mary Jane Cole, Master Diver" (Florida)   I fought with my husband as to whom was going to get to read "The Dragon In the Lake first!" It is an exciting book about pre-columbian finds in a lake called Rock Lake in Wisconsin. The author, Eschborn walks you through a process of discovery making the book a real page turner! Not only is it exciting, it is informative and superbly written. I couldn't put it down! This book would make an excellent movie. After reading it, As a diver I am now compelled to visit this Lake and attempt to do some cold water diving with my husband, a Dive Instructor. Dragon in the Lake Best Yet!, March 1, 2005 Reviewer:   Kay L. Nightingale (Lake Mills, WI)   I've just finished The Dragon in the Lake, the story of the "structures" under and near Rock Lake, Wisconsin. This story has fascinated me ever since acquiring property on Rock Lake about nine years ago. Having read Frank Joseph's books: "The Lost Pyramids of Rock Lake" and "Atlantis in Wisconsin"as well as hearing and meeting Dr. James Scherz, this book by Archie Eschborn is the best explanation yet of the ancient structures which lie beneath Rock Lake. It is very readable, understandable, and "connects the dots" for me. Finally, we are presented with actual evidence that other works have lacked regarding Rock Lake's ties with Mesoamerica, the early Aztecs, and the archeological history of an ancient Pre-Columbian era. Now, it becomes the job of the Wisconsin Historical Society to follow the evidence where it leads and PROTECT Rock Lake as the archeological wonder that it is. To do any less is a travesty. Mr. Eschborn has written a remarkable, concise and accurate book which, for me, takes the guesswork out of understanding. It is with the greatest privledge that I highly recommend reading The Dragon in the Lake as one of the most fascinating reads of my lifetime. It's magnificent. Local History Lesson, January 10, 2005 Reviewer:   Jack J. Rossate "a fellow author" (Lake in the Hills, Il and North Chatham, NH)   This is an in depth research work on Rock Lake Wiscinson that is easy for the layman to read and understand. It is clear that Archie Eschborn has a passion for the preservation of this major site and it is equally clear that he has identified his major antagonist in his goal to attain this preservation. The work is a chronicle of his adventure and you can sense his dedication as you turn the pages. If you have an interest in the history of Wisconsin and have respect for the culture of the earliest inhabitants of this area, this is a MUST READ!!!! It debunks the pre-concevied notions of the "powers that be" and ends with an interesting turn of events. The book will impress you with Archie's depth of knowledge of Rock Lake.
