This book was released on 1984-12-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian Bruce Catton is known to millions of readers for his absorbing works on the Civil War. In this book, he turns to his native Michigan to tell a story of what happened when a primitive wilderness changed into a bustling industrial center so fast that it was as if the old French explorer Etienne Brule "should step up to shake hands with Henry Ford." The idea that abundance was "inexhaustible--that fatal Michigan word," as the author calls it--dominated thinking about the state from the days when Commandant Cadillac's soldiers arrived at Detroit until his name became a brand of car. Viewed in this light, Michigan is a case study of all America, and Americans in any state will be fascinated. In a colorful, dramatic past, Mr. Catton finds understanding of where we are in the present and what the future will make us face.

Download or read book Michigan's Lumbertowns written by Jeremy W. Kilar and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan's foremost lumbertowns, flourishing urban industrial centers in the late 19th century, faced economic calamity with the depletion of timber supplies by the end of the century. Turning to their own resources and reflecting individual cultural identities, Saginaw, Bay City, and Muskegon developed dissimilar strategies to sustain their urban industrial status. This study is a comprehensive history of these lumbertowns from their inception as frontier settlements to their emergence as reshaped industrial centers. Primarily an examination of the role of the entrepreneur in urban economic development, Michigan Lumbertowns considers the extent to which the entrepreneurial approach was influenced by each city's cultural-ethnic construct and its social history. More than a narrative history, it is a study of violence, business, and social change.

Download or read book Multicultural Education in the U.S. written by Bruce Mitchell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-05-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born during the turbulent years of the 1960s, multicultural education has attempted to help students acquire a more sophisticated understanding of the pluralistic populations of the United States. And as the United States becomes increasingly multicultural, it is necessary for students to learn to live and work effectively with members of different racial and ethnic groups. Each state's experiences with multicultural education vary, and states have emphasized multicultural education to greater and lesser degrees. This reference book is a guide to multicultural education initiatives in the 50 states. After an introductory essay on the development of multicultural education programs, the volume presents alphabetically arranged entries on the status of multicultural education in each state. Because the programs in each state have developed in response to the particular characteristics and experiences of the state's population, each entry begins with a brief history that places special emphasis on the state's cultural groups. The second section discusses the state's educational system, since the system provides a framework for the state's multicultural education initiatives. The third section analyzes the state's creation and implementation of multicultural education policies and programs and draws on responses to a questionnaire. Each entry closes with bibliographic references, and the volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography.

Download or read book Michigan's Timber Battleground written by Forrest B. Meek and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Book's Jacket flap: The Northern half of Lower Michigan remained in splendid isolation until after the Civil War. To be sure, some settlements and commercial activity antedated the 1860's, especially along the shores of Lakes Michigan and Huron, but the interior regions were carpeted with forests, and devoid of organized settlements. The history of this region, therefore, is necessarily concerned with the removal of this tremendous forest and the founding of organized civil governments and towns. The timber harvesters were rowdy crowd for the most part, but they brought day-light to the swamps. They tolerated county and municipal governments as little as possible, seeking to control them for their own benefits. Land hungry immigrants, refugees from Europe, Canada, and the eastern United States, and from the Civil War were scattered throughout the timbered over districts in their settler's cabins. During the last third of the nineteenth century, mid-Michigan became a battleground between the lumbermen and the settlers. Because the lumbermen were more strident and less inhibited than the God-fearing settlers, they seemed, at first, to win the struggle, but the settlers had staying power. They had come to build homes for their families, so the losses were accepted temporarily, but they were not content to let the coarser elements win the final battles. When the timber people finished leveling the forests, they lost interest in the so-called waste lands of the interior and let much of it return to the state for back taxes. Some land was sold, but most of it was abandoned. The lumber barons also abandoned the scores of saloons and bawdy houses, the lumber camps and their seasonal jobs. Left in their wake were the scattered ghost towns, farm communities and villages and towns, greatly weakened by the sudden loss of people and commerce.
