  • Chronology of Michigan History 1618-1701
    CHRONOLOGY OF MICHIGAN HISTORY 1618-1701 1618 Etienne Brulé passes through North Channel at the neck of Lake Huron; that same year (or during two following years) he lands at Sault Ste. Marie, probably the first European to look upon the Sault. The Michigan Native American population is approximately 15,000. 1621 Brulé returns, explores the Lake Superior coast, and notes copper deposits. 1634 Jean Nicolet passes through the Straits of Mackinac and travels along Lake Michigan’s northern shore, seeking a route to the Orient. 1641 Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Raymbault conduct religious services at the Sault. 1660 Father René Mesnard establishes the first regular mission, held throughout winter at Keweenaw Bay. 1668 Father Jacques Marquette takes over the Sault mission and founds the first permanent settlement on Michigan soil at Sault Ste. Marie. 1669 Louis Jolliet is guided east by way of the Detroit River, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. 1671 Simon François, Sieur de St. Lusson, lands at the Sault, claims vast Great Lakes region, comprising most of western America, for Louis XIV. St. Ignace is founded when Father Marquette builds a mission chapel. First of the military outposts, Fort de Buade (later known as Fort Michilimackinac), is established at St. Ignace. 1673 Jolliet and Marquette travel down the Mississippi River. 1675 Father Marquette dies at Ludington. 1679 The Griffon, the first sailing vessel on the Great Lakes, is built by René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, and lost in a storm on Lake Michigan. ➤ La Salle erects Fort Miami at the mouth of the St.

    A MICHIGAN SESQUICENTENNIAL HISTORY OF INGHAM COUNTY PREPARED BY THE INGHAM COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION INTRODUCTION After many months of careful research the material used in this booklet has been verified and accept8d as accurate. Heresay and folklore have been included only in cases in which there is a strong tradition of their acceptance as fact. Much of the early history has been gathered from books written by early settlers about their lives and experiences. Recollections of these pioneers do not always agree. There are differences of opinion regarding the earliest settlements in given areas, but we have tried to procure reliable information. We, the members of the Ingham County Historical Commission, wish to keep history alive, especially in this sesquicentennial year. -L!J.ak '"""6'). ~4.1-'~ C), ~ [ij:.

Archibald: Trapped: Steel, Whiskey, Extinction, and the Upper Peninsula Fur Trapped: Steel, Whiskey, Extinction, and the Upper Peninsula Fur Trade Robert Archibald Ph.D. The fur trade in the Upper Peninsula was the first in a string of giant commercial extractive industries that really began in the early 1620s with the arrival of the Frenchman Etienne Brulé and his companion at Sault Ste. Marie. Resources, in this instance fur bearing mammals, were exploited until they were near extermination, or until demand in Europe disappeared. All mammals larger than squirrels, with the exception of porcupine and skunks, were trapped or hunted to the brink of extinction for their skins. Native people eager for guns, European trade goods of all kinds, and whiskey ensured the actual trapping and hunting.
