Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.

Tom Marshall's Weekly News, November 27, 2017 the Fair of the Iron Horse: the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Was the Oldest
Tom Marshall’s Weekly News, November 27, 2017 The Fair of the Iron Horse: The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was the oldest common carrier railroad in the United States. Although steam trains did not run on the original line from Baltimore to Catonsville until 1830, the first rail was laid for horse-drawn trains in 1827, when a ceremony was held in West Baltimore with Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only living survivor of those who signed the Declaration of Independence, on hand as a featured celebrity. During the Civil War, the B & O was the only major railroad connecting Washington with the states remaining in the Union. Its main lines to Baltimore and west toward Ohio were almost entirely south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Much of this line was under constant attack from Confederate forces, and “Stonewall” Jackson stole nearly 100 locomotives from the railroad near Harpers Ferry early in the war. Much of the time, it seemed that Union troops did little to guard the railroad; at other times northern soldiers played a major role in keeping the B & O in Union hands. The railroad’s president, John W. Garrett, was determined that the B & O should not fall to the Confederates, and was commended by President Lincoln for his efforts. In 1927, when steam power still reigned supreme, the B & O Railroad planned an extravaganza to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The “Fair of the Iron Horse” was planned at Baltimore and ran for several weeks during that summer. It was widely promoted with bargain prices on rail tickets from distant points for those who wanted to attend.
