Abstract

The writer's interpretations of Great Lakes history, which have been seriously questioned by J Harlen Bretz in this Journal (1959, 1964), are explained in detail in a review of the field facts, and a new alternative hypothesis of the lakes history is presented. The principal points of disagreement involve the acceptance or rejection of recent studies in the Lake Ontario basin and St. Lawrence valley, which require a revision of the correlation of events in the Huron and Michigan basins. A distinction is made between field facts and Bretz's interpretations of field facts.
