L
ET'S LEAVE OUT ALL the fancy words and just tell you we're
mighty glad you're back with us this summer. Many of you make
it annually; some we haven't seen for several years; others are here
for the first time. To all of you: WELCOME.
TO ENABLE YOU TO GEII' the out of it, we've prepared this
booklet for your use and enjoyment. We wanted you to know all the
things this country has to offer. As you'll notice in thumbing its pages,
there is plenty to do and much to see.
When you finish with this booklet, place a friend's name on
the outside back cover-and a 3-cent stamp-and mail. Your
friends will be glad to know more about this area.
EVERY TWO WEEKS DURING the summer a new up-to-date
booklet is issued. If you are on an extended visit, you may see two
or three different issues. You'll notice some of the material is the
same in all editions. This is to insure that all of our visitors know
of the history...:....the unchanging history-of this historic country, tne
stories to be told and retold on long winter nights ahead.
AGAIN, WELCOME! We are happy to have you here!

There's Lots to Do
In Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet Countit!IS
Y
OU NEEDN'T WORRY just
because your vacation seems
a bit late this -year. There is still
some gorgeous northern Michigan
weather to be enjoyed and you'll
find that the same cordial hosp-
italiy, the same warm friendliness
exists here whether it be July,
August or September.
The big Emmet County Fair is
winding up its 1948 showing at
Petoskey Sept. 17-18 and you'll
miss a lot of fun if you don't
stop by. It's a typical fair with
attractions to interest the entire
family.
Fishing is on the u,pswing in
all areas. You'll be glad you
dropped a line in any of these
three counties when you feel the
tug of a live one and reel in a

beauty. Look at the map in the
center of this book and pick out
a lake-and here's luck!
It's an old belief in this country
that late September and October
are the ideal times for a vacation.
Look at the coloring of the trees;
feel the snap in the air; notice
how soundly you sleep, how great
it is to be alive!
The state parks in the area
are inviting rtow for steak roasts
and hikes. Try it for an exper-
ience you'll remember.
LINKED CLOSELY with the
early history of Michigan are Pell-
ston, Brutus, Levering, Carp Lake
and Douglas Lake on US-31 near-
ly in the center of this vacation-
land .
Pellston was a famed lumber-
ing town settled in 1882. In
winter it is the "icebox" of the
Lower Peninsula. Last year it
registered an official reading low-
er than 30 below zero. It is the
landing point for Capital Airlines.
Stagecoaches stopped at Bru-
tus in olden days
Carp Lake is one of the favorite
vacation lakes where hundreds
enjoy the quiet of the north and
excellent fishing.

.-'Arbre
Croche
LTHOUGH MICHIGAN is
A rich in historical lore, few
single areas offer greater legend
than the section of Emmet Coun-
ty extending Mackinaw Ci:y
southwest to include Cross Vll-
lage, Middle Village, Goodhart
and the Scenic Drive.
For more than 200 years a cross
has stood on the bluff at Cross
Village. Some claim the first
cross was placed there by Father
Marquette. The village has a
commanding view of the lake.
Former Convent Si:te
Indian tribes followed this high
point of land, and below
and along its flat top bmlt therr
settlements.
Cross Village, in 1855, became
the site of St. Francis Convent,
established by Father Weikamp.
The convent thrived and supplied
the community with lumber and
food and clothing. The buildings
were destroyed in the early 1900's.
Father Weikamp's tomb is now
a shrine open to the public.
Called L'Arbre Croche
Along this drive, a huge crook-
.ed tree was such a prominent
landmark that the entire area
from Little Traverse Bay to Stur-
. geon Bay was known as L' Arbre
Croche (Fr. Crooked Tree). In-
dian canoe trains used the tree
to get bearings on the lake.
Fishing and lumbering were
the principal occupations at Good-
hart where now scores of sum-
mer homes are located.
Numerous turnouts and scenic
views dot this area. The Indians
found it an ideal sector for fish-
ing and hunting and, at thP. same
time, liked its elevation.

T
RAVELERS moving over
highways US-31, US-27 and
M-68 and-other roads in the gen-
eral area of Cheboygan, Topin-
abee, Indian River, Alanson, Oden
and Conway are, actually, border-
ing an 80-year-old water route
extending inland some 49 miles
from Lake Huron. It is known
as the Inland Waterway.
Roughly (see three-county map)
the In 1 and
Waterway ex-
tends from
Che boygan
southwesterly
to Conway on
Crooked Lake
and US-31.
When trans-
portation wa,:;
difficult in this area in the late
1800's, the waterway was in use.
Today, one of the joys of oper-
ators of small pleasure craft in
this sector, is to travel from
Conway through Crooked Lake
and Crooked River to Burt Lake
and thence into Indian River to
Mullet Lake and into the Cheboy-
gan River where, after passing
thr ough a set of locks, boaters
move to Lake Huron and May
turn to the Straits of Mackinac.
Docking Available
Much of the Inhind Waterway
passage is through river narrows.
The shores are lined with beau-
tiful trees and there are several
stopping points of .interest. Dock-
ing facilities are available and
at CC!rtain points Inns crowd the
shoreline to welcome visiting
pleasure craft operators.
Burt and Mullet Lakes through
which the passage is made are
two of the most beautiful lakes
in Michigan. Fishing is excellent
in each and the shores are dotted
with summer homes, many of
them bordering on the palatial .

Tourists need have no fear of
pollution in the cold spring water
found at intervals along the
roadsides in this_ area. Most have
the yellow and black signs of the
State Board of Health and the
board also tests wat er in state
parks and camping places. If a
warning sign is posted, however,
do not drink the water.

Cedar posts and hardwood are
the chief lumber products being
produced in this area now.

the Mormons were driven from
the area in 1856.
Its resort stature increased in
1878 with establishment of the
Charlevoix Resort, now the Belve-
dere Club. The Chicago Club,
owned by wealthy Chicagoans, is
on the north shore of Round
Lake.
Several years ago, impress<>d
by the beauty of their town, resi-
dents added the words: "The
Beautiful," in talking about the
community. The phrase caught
on and the city is known widely
as "Charlevoix the Beautiful."
The phrase is also used on sta-
tionary and printed matter in
the community.

persons, Petoskey is the largest
city in the three-county area, and
it bursts with tourists and resort-
ers from June through the hay
fever season in the fall.
Although it is a famed summer
resort community, Petoskey's
major claim to prominence in
north is its excellent shoppmg
district. In addition to year-
-around mercantile establishments.
Petoskey boasts seasonal retail
outlets of some of the nation's
best-known shops which operate
in southern resorts during the
winter.
Bay View Nearby
At the city's doorstep is Bay
View, a summer community of
over 3,000. This is the sumr:ner
school of Albion College, Albwn,
Mich. (See Bay View).
Upon arrival of ' the first set-
tlers around 1852, most of the
property was owned by an Indian
named Ignatius Pe-to-se-gah. Tha
Indian name Pe-to-se-gah means
Rising Sun. The name was cor-
. rupted by the wl).ites to Petoskey.
The city has a manager form of
government and is providing its
own electric power from a new
diesel generating plant costing
approximately $500,000. Water is
pumped from wells by the city.
A Library is open
daily except Sunday on East
Mitchell street.
.Lodging Plentiful
There are two hospitals in the
city Little Traverse Hospital,
also connects with the
Burns Clinic, ,and Lockwood Gen-
eral Hospital.
The city boasts foui: h<.>tels, one

tourist homes.
Two newspapers serve the city
along with a radio station. The
daily newspaper is the Petoskey
Evening News, served by the
United Press and published daily
except Sunday. The Northern
Michigan Review is publish":d
every Thursday morning. Radio
station WMBN, 1350 on the dial,
is affiliated with the Mutual
Broadcasting ystem. the Mid-
western Broadcasting Co., and
the Paul Bunyan Network .
The strings of lights over
hanging Petoskey's business
section cause many comments.
They operate year-around and
in the winter are varicolored.
A total of 412 individual light
bulbs are used in the system.
The city produces cement, tan-
nery products, maple blocks, die
castings and stampings and paper
. twine. Its Petoskey Portland
Cement Co., on the shores of the
Bay, is the largest cement plant
in Michigan with an annual pro-
duction of 6,000,000 sacks.
Municipal tennis courts and
shuffleboard courts are available
to the public without charge (see
Index) .and a fine 18-hole golf
course, the Petoskey-Bay View
Country Club, is open to the
public (see Golf). At the western
edge of the city is Magnus State
Park (see State Parks).
Due to its geographical location .
and prevailing winds, Petoskey's
docking facilities cannot compare
with other communities in the
lake area.
The city is famed for its sun-
sets on Little Traverse Bay.
In winter, P etoskey stages a
Winter Sports Festival featuring
skating exhibitions, tobogganing,
skiing and jumper riding.

c:::.River
TO THE FISHERMAN, Indian
River means the rushing waters
of the Sturgeon River, a fighting
trout on a taut line, and all the
thrills that go with good fishing.
Indian River, a small commun-
ity of about 300 persons, is in
Cheboygan County on US-27 (see
map).
Situated as it is on a trunkline
highway, it is a favorite stopping
plqce for hunters and fishermen
due to its ' location within easy
driving distance of Burt Lake,
Mullet Lake, Black Lake and
Douglas Lake. In addition, it
is locat ed on the famous Sturgeon
River and on Indian River (see
Inland Route).
Numerous cabin resorts line
the shores of the streams in the
vicinity. Its location on the main
line of the Michigan Central Rail-
road makes it easily accessible
for downstaters.
Although fishermen claim the
area prov;ides some of the finest
fishing found anywhere, Indian
River is also a hunter's paradise.
Each- fall hundreds of hunters
seek deer and bear in the woods
nearby.
Hotels and restaurants plan for
weeks t o accommodate the hunt-
ing army.
Wildcat, coyote and fox are
found in this area along with
rabbits to give the hunter a sea-
son-long sport.
Ice-fishing, too, is popular here
and ranks as a favorite winter .
sport.
For the duck hunter, the flats
at the mouth of the Iridian River
see many flights of canvasbacks,
mallards, redheads and whistlers. -

c:Straits
'3-erry
QNE OF the finest state-owned
fleets of ferry boats to be
found anywhere is in operation
at the Straits of Mackinac. The
ships, supervised and operated by
the Michigan State Highway De-
partment, ply between Mackinaw
City and St. Ignace in the Upper
Peninsula.
All are equipped with electric-
ally-operated direction finders
and ship-to-shore telephone ser-
vice. They are powered with
triple steam engines
and operate at
approximately 12
MPH in the
Straits.

and can carry 105 to 110 automo-
biles.

largest ferry, was built in 1901
and is 330 feet long with a 56-
foot beam. It is manned by 45
cr ewmen and carries 105 to 110
cars.
The City of Cheboygan carries
.75 cars and the crew numbers 45.
It was built in 1906 and is 259
feet long wit h a bearri of 54 feet .
Smallest of the fleet is the
Straits of Mackinac. With a gross
tonnage of 736, it is 196 feet long

RELAX!
H
AVE THEY KEPT YOU GOING every single minute during your
vacation? Has it seemed like the kids just coulah't get in enough
swimming, or enough playing on the beach, or enough picnicking?
HONESTLY, NOW, DO YOU HAVE a secret little desire to turn
the old bus around and head back home where you can fool around
with the lawn and maybe patch up the back steps?
BROTHER, WE THINK WE KNOW just about how you feel.
BUT-WAIT A MINUTE!
YOU CAME UP HERE FOR a little rest and relaxation, didn't
you? o.r course you did. You just had to get away from that routine
of catching the 7:10 bus, of dashing through traffic to get to your
lunch and be back in the office in half an hour, of scurrying home
EVERY NATIVE iN THIS resort country gets asked a stand-
ard question sometime or other during the summer season. A
sunkissed visitor makes ii sound casual-like, but it all adds up to
this: "Just what do you folks do up here the rest of the year?"
There's an urgency about it. The native has heard it, with the
same inflection, many, many times before. Here, for those of
you who haven't yet asked, but have wanted to, is the answer:
Many of us go about our work, with much less bustle, just like
we do in the summer. The res:t of us take off our white shirts
and ties and don wool and old slacks and fish and hunt and
wander around and take it easy and talk about the snow and cold
and when the ice will leave the lakes and-oh, yes-how long it
will be before YOU get back here.
through mobs of folks in time to gulp down your supper and get
ready for lodge meeting. We know how it goes; many of us have
been through it ourselves.
AND NOW THAT YOU'RE REALLY up here-don't worry about
that alarm clock. We know that the first couple of days lying .on the
beach is like heaven. And then you get the old bug to get up and go .
BUT DON'T OVERDO IT, FRIEND. There are lots of things to
do here that won't require much more than your breathing. Ever
lie in a hammock all afternoon and snooze? Wonderful !" Ever sit
alongside a lake and dream? Swell! Ever walk slowly through a
woodland and listen for the birds? It's an experience!
DON'T LET 'EM RUSH you on THIS vacation. Take it easy!
Relax and let the world hustle on. Going-home time is coming soon
enough!

On M-75, Walloon Lake is more
than 5,000 acres in area and the
land r ises sharply from its shores,
flinging wooded hills skyward.
Walloon Lake is the site of
many large resor t homes as well
as several exclusive r esorts.
The small village at the east
end of the lake once had saw-
mills and a butterbowl factory .
Fire destr oyed the village in 1916
and since t hat time it has con-

NE OF THE nation's most
exclusive summer resorts is
on a finger of land" jutting from
the mainland into Little Traverse
Bay at Harbor Springs. Here, at
Harbor Point, some of the oldest
and best-known families in Am-
erica have their summer resi-
dences.
With one side of the peninsula
fronting on the bay proper and
the other facing the deepest na-
tural harbor on the Great Lakes,
Harbor Point is ideally situated
for perfect summer climate.
Sold for $100
In 1855, Harbor Point was sold
to a Catholic priest, Father John
Weikamp, for $100, as the loca-
tion for a mission and convent.
The area was not sufficient, how-
ever, and the establishment was
moved to Cross Village.
At the extreme end of the point
!s a Coast Guard lighthouse whose
green light can be seen nightly
for miles.
The homes on Harbor Point
are palatial. In addition to pri-
vate residences are a club and
nearby are several private clubs.
The Harbor Point Association
controls the entire section to in-
sure privacy.
No Autos Allowed
No automobiles are allowed on
Harbor Point although visitors
are not restrained from bicycling
on its paths or riding in one of
the horse-drawn carriages which
cover its length.
World travelers contend that
' the bay area around Harbor Potnt
is rivaled only by the famous
Bay of Naples. It is considered
the of Bar Harbor, Maine.

!Buffing Did It
'Petoskey Stones'
Went to Market
M
ANY TOURISTS, browsing
. in gift shops in the north this
season will pause before greyish,
polished stones, their surfaces
marked with shell-like rings.
'They are in various sizes, some
:small, some large, some cut in
:shapes of hearts and crosses.
These are "Petoskey . Stones,"
so called because of the huge
numbers found in the Little Trav-
erse Bay area years ago.
The Petoskey Stone is a fossil
hundreds of thousands of years
old and the small rings which
give it such distinction are the
remains olf
pre - historic
life - prin-
cipally marine
life-that liv-
ed in the wat-
ers in this
section.
The stone is
a limestone-like material which
lying dry on a beach,
silvery. Indians discovered that
when these were dipped in water
they .darkened and displayed the
fossil patterns prominently.
Due to the constant pounding
of the water, the stones were
washed to the beach in round
form, some flat. A few heavier
specimens, almost chunky, have
been discovered. Constant rub-
bing by hand made the stones
shine.
Wheel Is Better
By the bushel baskets these
were gathered in ,the old days
and it was discovered that, with
proper burnishing on a grinding
wheel, they could be made to
retain the identical luster they
achieved when wet.
These are the stones offered
for sale in the area. Craftsmen
learned that the stone could be
drilled and cut. The d'iscovery
resulted odd-SJhaped stones
coming from the wheels. Heart-
shaped stones were produced to
hang on gold neck chains. Crosses,
too, were produced.
Number Diminishing
During the past several years,
however, the quantity of Petoskey
Stones found on beaches has dim-
inished. Although a few may be
discovered by watchful wander-
ers they do not exist in anything
like their former numbers.
Pocket pieces, bracelet charms
paper weights and small
ments are thei,r chief uses.

Alanson is also the home of
one of the larkest privately-own-
ed trout ponds in Mic)ligan. The
ponds, located on US-31 north
of Alanson are open to fishing
by the public with a flat fee per
fish caught. The fish also are sold
to individuals and clubs wishing
to restock private streams. A
total of 200,000 brook and rain-
bow trout were planted in these
pools this year.

Island

O
NE OF THE STRANGEST dramas in Michigan's long and colorful
history took place on Beaver Island, the largest of the isles in the
Beaver Archipelago in upper Lake Michigan and now a part of Char-
levoix County (See Map).
IT WAS ON THIS Island on July 8, 1850 that James J. Strang was
crowned King to a reign that is without parallel in American
history.
THE STRANGE STORY BEGAN in 1847 when Strang ana four
companions went to Beaver Island from Voree, Wis., headquarters of
the eastern branch of the Mormons. This scouting party sought the
island as a place to live and worship without interference. They
coveted its rich fishmg waters and its abundance of game and Strang
dreamed of empire. Returning to Voree, he summoned his followers
to visit the new land. As winter roared its way across the big lake
it locked on the island a Mormon population of 18; five men and 13
women and children. The f ollowing winter the Mormons numbered
62, of which 17 were men. By the summer of 1849 the Mormons were
arriving in large numbers. .
FOLLOWING HIS CORONATION, feeling against King Strang
ran high and particularly among fishermen from the mainland who
resented the in- trusion in these
abundant waters. King Strang ruled
with an iron hand. He laid out t he
town of St. James, still the only mu-
nicipality on the island. He forbade
the use of liquor, tobacco and tea.
He ordered his fol- lowers to pay a
tithe of all they received or pro-
duced or and failure to pay
was punishable flogging.
KING STRANG TOLD his followers he had received divine in-
structions to practice polygamy and he took several wives and ordered
his folfowers to do likewise. He ordered women on the island to dis-
card long skirts and wear knee-length skirts or bloomers.
His tyrannical attitude brought open rebellion. He was arrested by
the Federal Government. Charges included the theft of timber, tam-
pering with the mails and counterfeiting money. No witness could
be found to testify against him in St. James and the trial was taken
to Detroit. He aided his own defense with an eloquent, .address and
he and 12 other defendants were acquitted.
KING STRANG'S SUCCESS SENT him into politics. He was
elected to the State House of Representatives. He served well and
his followers, also mindful of their power, won political control of
Emmet County and moved the county seat to St. James, spreading
responsible positions among their own numbers.
IN 1853 THE power-drunk Mormons attempted to subpoena three
fishermen at Pine River (now Charlevoix) for jury duty on the island.
The men at Pine River refused. One of the Mormons fired a shot,
--38-
' I
The King Is Dead
answered by a volley from the
fishermen. One maiJ:llander was
shot down and the Mormons fled
t o their boats with six wounded.
This fight became known as "The
Battle of Pine River" and a mon-
ument has been erected at Char-
levoix's Lake Michigan beach.
KING STRANG'S abuse of his
.subjects grew with his power.
He sent to the whipping posts
men whose wives were recalci-
trant; he harried them in busi-
ness; he snubbed them socially
and t ermed them outcasts. The
hatred of fishermen and traders
on opposite c0asts was fanned
t o white heat by his arbitrary
rulings.
ON JUNE 16, 1856, the United
States Revenue Cutter Michigan
arrived at St. James. King
Strang was invited to supper with
the captain. As he strode the
dirt road to the ship, watchful
eyes followed him from the print-
ing shop and the stores in the
small town. Within a few feet
of the gangplank he appeared to
hesitate and stop. Two shots
rang out, and the reign of Amer-
ica's only king was at an end.
He fell to the dust while his as-
sassins scampered. to the deck of
the Michigan and _were away.

KING STRANG DIED in Voree,
Wis., 23 days later.
THE MURDER of King Strang
was the signal for mainlanders
to t ake over the island. They
captured St. J ames and ordered
the Mormons to leave. A group
of Ir ish fishermen settled on the
island and later induced a migra-
tion of relatives from North Ire-
land. Today the population is
predominately Irish.
FISHERMEN HAVE made
charter plane trips to t he islands
in the archipelago popular recent-
ly due to the fact that trout and
bass have been found there in
large numbers.

Strange though it seems for
a northern area, Charlevoix Coun-
ty is one of the leading turkey-
raising counties in the State.
A season or two ago it and
Emmet and Antriin counties pro-
duced some 60,000 turkeys and
the bulk were from Charlevoix.
Faced with a processing prob-
lem-it is no mean job to pick
the pinfeathers from that many
turkeys! - pro-
ducers in the
area decided to
. combine and do
the chore togeth-
er.
The plant will
dress, package and otherwise pr e-
pare for mar keting this huge out-
put of fowl, and even chickens,
ducks and geese will be handled.
In a new block building the
cooperative will house spr ay
scalders, automatic pickers and
other modern machinery to do the
job in jig time.

Ready for Trouble
A COMPLETE rescue organiza-
tion is always on the ready at the
Charlevoix Coast Guard Stat ion
on Lake Michigan.
At the entrance to Lake Charle-
voix is a buoy depot which cares
for needs of navigation aids from
Grand Traver se to Lansing
Shoals. Visitors wishing to board
the boat Sundew, ask at the
Coast Guard S tation.

EW SIZABLE communities in
Michigan today are as rich in
Indian lore as is Harbor Springs,
located on the finest natural har-
bor on the Great Lakes. (See
map).
Now a community of some
1,900 permanent r esidents, the
city has a city manager form of
government. Directly across the
har bor is Harbor Point (see Har-
bor Point) and adjoining the city
in each direction are famed sum-
mer resorts: Wequetonsing, Roar-
ing Brook, Forest Beach, etc.
One of the
most ma:gni ..
ficient views
in Michigan
may be seen
from Bluff
drive within
the city, ov-
er I o o king
the harbor
and Little Traverse Cay. The city
is t he starting point for the fam-
ous shore drive (see Scenic
Drives).
Small furniture is manufactur-
ed here and one of the state's
best Jersey herds is iocated at
the Garstang Birchwood Farms
on the shore drive.
The city's newspaper, the Em-
met County Graphic, is published
every Thursday.
First called Little Traverse,
Harbor Springs is the home of
the Holy Childhood of Jesus
School and Church, founded in
1827. It is primarily a boarding
school for Indian children and is
located on. Main street at the
western end of the business sec-
tion.
Some of the finest marine craft
on the lakes may be seen docked
here or sailing in t he harbor dur-
ing t he summer.

Black Lake yielded huge stur-
geon during spearing season last
winter.

Lots of Sa wdust
Cheboygan boast s t he largest
pile of sawdust in the world, a
mound easily visible from nearly
all points in the city and a con-
stant reminder of the city's im-
portance in l um!Jering days.
Cheboygan County lays claim
to the gr eat est acreage of inland
lakes in Michigan.

Pigeon Purge
THE DECLINE of the famed
passenger pigeon is alleged to
have begun in Petoskey in 1877.
Histor y records that tremend-
ous flocks of t he birds filled the
skies and clung to trees. From
day to day the number inct eased
as more flocks arrived.
Men and women shot the birds,
t rapped them in nets on long
poles or clubbed them to death.
The birds were shipped t.o distant
cities after local residents picked
them for five cents a dozen.

UNTERS STREAMING north
in deer season give little
thought while wait ing in line for
ferr y service acr oss t he Straits
that in Mackinaw Cit y took place
one of the most savage massacres
in all history.
Here on June 4, 1763, as part
of Chief P ontiac's plan to drive
the English fr om Michigan, t he
Chippewas and Ojibwas massacr-
ed the gar rison at Fort Michili-
mackinac. The reconstructed
stockade of the f or t may be visit-
ed.
English were Duped
The massacre followed a game
of baggatiway ostensibly staged
at t he for t gates by t he Indians
in celebration of the King's bir th-
day. St ationing their squaws in-
side t he fort in heavy blankets,
the Indians invited the garrison
to watch the game. All went
well for several hour s and ther e
was a fest ive air about the fort.
Suddenly one Indian whipped
the ball over the stockade wall
and the warr ior s char ged thr ough
the open doors, grabbing weapons .
hidden under the blankets of
squaws. Mercilessly t hey slaught -
ered all soldiers within sight.
killing mor e than 70 in a wild
orgy.
Means Great Turtle
Michilimackinac is f rom the Al-
gonquin tongue signifying the
Great Turtle.
Mackinaw City now is a thriv-
ing port city and terminus of the
state ferry system operating to
St. Ignace. Hundreds of thousands
of persons pass through the city
annually.
From the city visitors have a

and may the lake freighters

Michigan. Northwest of the city
lies famed Mackinac Island which
can be seen clearly on cloudless
days.
