DESCRIPTION:
Even the name Fannette has a strange basis that is not widely known. Over the decades it has contained a small cottage, an empty tomb made of stones, and a tea house. Lake Tahoe’s only island has had many names – Coquette, Emerald Isle, Eckley’s, Dead Man’s, Hermit’s, and Fannette or Fanette. The book includes many stunning photographs of Emerald Bay and Fannette Island, with several photos from rarely seen historical collections.. Today the only manmade remains are the four stone walls of the tea house and some granite stairs. The island is full of history, is rumored to be haunted by a ghost, and is the subject of two fascinating Native American legends about its origin. Thousands of visitors step foot on the little island each year, making the 5-10 minute climb up to the tea house and one of the most alluring vantage points on the lake. With this book, we share some of these stories and photographs with those interested in the Lake Tahoe region
