  • The Century Book
    THE CENTURY BOOK 1863 ESCANABA 1963 as years pass by..... Escanaba, its first 100 years! When Escanaba was young our pioneers lived with visions of a brighter future. Now we take for granted miracles of which they did not dream. How did our people work and live? What were their achievements? These and other questions are answered in The Century Book, which is not a "history" in the usual meaning but rather a commentary to the fact and an interpretation of the statistic. You'll read about the adventuresome era of the big trees, the plight of a little girl lost, Eli P. Royce wrote of city aldermen in his diary, and how the "fever girl" fooled the doctors. You may for the first time learn that there would have been no Escanaba at Sand Point if there had not been a dispute over land at Old Masonville; and you'll read about an airplane flight that took four days to hop from the ground to the top of a pine tree. Most of all you'll be impressed anew by the many good deeds of the people from many lands who, in the exercise of freedom, created in Escanaba their contribution to the American heritage. Foreword Escanaba was born in a period that throbbed with the excitement of the fast developing North Country. Nearby there could still be heard the occasional beat of an Indian drum. From the South came the disturbing echo of the Civil War. One hundred years ago, in January of 1863, President Lincoln issued a proclamation freeing the slaves.
