The Grand River rises in a group of lakes near the Jackson-Hills- 2 dale county boundary. The Grand flows through. Grand Rapids in a rather straight channel which is about 600 feet wide. The valley through which the river flows is located between the Valparaiso Mo­ raine on the west and the Charlotte Moraine on the east. This wide valley was cut by an ancient river that flowed across Michigan in the Pleistocene era. The level valley is about one mile wide on the west side of the Grand, whereas on the east side the valley is from a few rods wide on the north to half a mile wide toward the south (Pig. 2), Almost two miles east of the southern part of the city are Reeds and Fisk lakes. The lakes and the moraines provided sources of water for the first settlers (Pig. 3). 1 Nevin M. Fenneman, Physiography of Pastern United States, New York, 1938, p. 491. 2 Helen M.

Dr. Douglas Hurt Dr. Mark Palmer Dr. Anna Ball DEDICATION I am happy to dedicate this work to my family, especially my beautiful fiancé Nikki. I could not have done it without her help and support, and I look forward to the next chapter in our lives together. We made it! My parents, both Annette and Mark Erbes and Jim and Kathy Keating, gave me important support during my time at Mizzou, including even finding some historical markers for me in the deepest, darkest corners of rural northern Michigan. I am very thankful for their help and emotional encouragement throughout my graduate career. I also want to thank my fellow graduate students in the Geography department. The advice, venting, laughter, and intellectual conversations (serious or otherwise) that took place in Room 2 were greatly needed at many times throughout the past two years, and my colleagues were always there to provide it.

  • Freemasons and Speculators: Another Look at the Francophone Merchants of Detroit, 1796 to 1863
    FREEMASONS AND SPECULATORS: ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FRANCOPHONE MERCHANTS OF DETROIT, 1796 TO 1863 Jay Gitlin with S. Heath Ackley This conference, I think, marks a beginning—a serious attempt to reassess and acknowledge the French impact on the Detroit region. 1 Fifty years ago, in 1951, American Heritage magazine celebrated the 250th birthday of Detroit with a series of short historical articles. The usual cast of characters made their appearance: Cadillac, Pontiac—than quickly onward to Mayor Cobo and Walter Reuther. Raymond Miller, then Chairman of the Department of History at Wayne State, wrote a brief summary of Detroit's history. Not surprisingly, he described the first Detroit as having been born in 1701 and having died in 1805. The great fire of that year cleared the air—in his words, "the old Detroit was gone." The French village now began to give way to new buildings and institutions—Miller mentions the Masonic lodge as an example. New settlers from New York and New England swarmed in giving the city a vital infusion of energy and leadership. 2 Professor Melvin Holli, writing in the late 1970s, pursued such a theme in an article entitled "French Detroit: The Clash of Feudal and Yankee Values" and in his introductory essay to a documentary history of the city. Wrote Holli, "the French habitant culture [was not] able to withstand the invasion of the aggressive, literate, and 1 I want to thank the organizers of this conference for inviting me to be a part of this historical celebration. It is a great honor to be participating in a panel which includes such distinguished scholars as Professor Fernand Ouellet.
