okay everyone, you convinced me to get that book.

…a tidbit I found on Wikipedia…RE: the Eilers

"Joseph and Gertrude Casey were investors. After Joseph’s death, Gertrude leased the entire island to the Eilers who lived there while completing the construction to the Admiralty Club, a private resort. After five years of operation, a disgruntled employee who was fired because he was stealing funds riled up the entire staff and took over the island. The staff commandeered the two boats used to ferry guests to the island and held the Eilers at bay until they received all their termination pay. After this terrifying experience, the Eilers left the island within a week."

I thought the book expanded on that couple and their ordeal.
