  • 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.

  • Anishinaabe Warriors, Soldiers, and Veterans from Pontiac's War
    “Both the Honor and the Profit”: Anishinaabe Warriors, Soldiers, and Veterans from Pontiac’s War through the Civil War by Michelle K. Cassidy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Gregory Evans Dowd, Co-Chair Associate Professor Michael Witgen, Co-Chair Professor Susan Juster Associate Professor Scott Richard Lyons Professor Tiya Miles © Michelle K. Cassidy 2016 Acknowledgements During my last year in graduate school, I went on a “final” research trip to Anishinaabe places in western Michigan. I started in Hart and worked my way up to Petoskey, stopping at various county seats to look at government records and land deeds. On my first day, while I was doing research at the County Clerk’s office in Hart, a man wearing a veteran’s ball cap walked in and requested information about several individuals whose last names—associated with Euro- Odawa fur trading families—caught my attention. As he waited for the vital records, he asked why I was sitting in a corner with giant books and we began talking. He knew about the Odawaag in Company K that I was researching and he said he was a descendent of a Company K soldier. We talked about the Odawa soldiers but our conversation quickly turned to contemporary Odawa politics. This dissertation is comprised of many such conversations—both fortuitous and planned—and the encouragement and generosity of many. I would not have written a dissertation on indigenous peoples if I had not taken Michael Witgen’s American Indian history class as an undergraduate.
