  • Theatrical Entertainment, Social Halls, Industry and Community: Houghton County, Michigan, 1837-1916
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • RAILROADS in Adams Township/Stanton Township. by the Early 20Th Century, Railroad Tracks Criss-Crossed the Peninsula
    RAILROADS in Adams Township/Stanton Township. By the early 20th century, railroad tracks criss-crossed the peninsula. Trains moved unrefined ore to the smelters, copper ingots to shipping docks, workers to their jobs, even children to school. Passenger cars transported people and products in and out of the area. In an area where roads were reduced to a morass of mud in the spring and blocked by drifts of snow in the winter, business depended on railroad trains to maintain contact with the rest of the world. FINNS and RAILROADS In NORTHERN MICHIGAN By Timothy Laitila Vincent Included here is a listing of all railroads in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula along with their stations and distances. The source is the 1911 Michigan Official Directory and Legislative Manual, compiled by Frederick C Martindale, Secretary of State.

  • Break Down the Nature-Culture Divide in Parks
    770 The Journal of American History December 2013 (p. 15). The authors respond by offering a litany of fixes: break down the nature-culture divide in parks; highlight the open-ended nature of the past; embrace controversy and dis- parate understandings of history; learn from the public; work more closely with scholars in the academy. These suggestions could, if implemented, usher in a new era for history in the . In the end, however, the agency finds itself in a state of ongoing organizational triage. Like so many other gears of the federal apparatus in recent years, the has faced massive budget cuts. And with the so-called sequester contracting rather than expanding funding, there appears to be little cause for optimism. Given the fiscal realities, one wonders if the has the resources necessary to stem the bleeding and embrace best historical practices— or if the ghost of George Hartzog will enjoy the last laugh.

    An Integrated Assessment of Torch Lake Area of Concern Noel R. Urban, Carol A. MacLennan, Judith A. Perlinger Michigan Technological University Funding provided by Michigan Sea Grant This is Contribution No. 53 of the Great Lakes Research Center at Michigan Technological University Calumet & Hecla operations in Lake Linden ca 1940. In the foreground are the Calumet and Hecla stamp mills with the stacks of the power house. Photo courtesy of Michigan Tech Archives. Acknowledgments The authors thank Michigan Sea Grant for funding to enable this integrated assessment. Without the support, insights, historical knowledge and perspectives offered by Sharon Baker, MDEQ site coordinator for many years, this project would not have been possible. We also owe tremendous thanks to the two students, Ankita Mandelia and Emma Schwaiger-Zawisza, whose thesis research contributed major parts of this report. Other people who have contributed to our understanding of the site and its history are too numerous to mention individually, but include state and federal agency personnel, colleagues at MTU and the Keweenaw National Historic Park, TLPAC members, and community members. Administration and staff members at Sea Grant were very helpful in administering the grant, creating and maintaining a web site for the project (http://www.miseagrant.umich.edu/torchlake/), and facilitating compilation of the final report. The assessment was greatly improved thanks to the contributions of eight anonymous reviewers representing agency, scientist, and local citizen viewpoints.

ENTERED, A ccording to Act of Congress, in the year 1838, BY E DWARD R. LAMBERT, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Connecticut. PREFACE. AUTHENTIC h istory is of high importance. It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose." And •what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity,) till " the noblest empire iu the reign of time" shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave.
