His right arm became Lake Michigan and his right leg Lake Huron, after the frowsy-haired Hurons. His left leg became Georgian Bay, while his right foot was named Lake Erie. And his left foot he came Lake Ontario. Still angry at the God of Water. Nanna-bijou came up to Port Arthur, and here. Wading out nineteen miles, he became tired and lay down to sleep. On awakening he found he had formed the Thunder Cape, with the trees growing out of his mouth and chin, and has ever since been called The Sleeping Giant. Then nanna-bijou began to feel lonely, and thought he would go and find his people. And having one green stone left, of which he made Isle Royale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Great Lakes For three hundred years the Great Lakes have been the centre of an immensely varied and interesting history. They were originally the home of savages; they were discovered and explored by Frenchmen; they became the scene of a century-long struggle for possession by Indians of many tribes and white men of three nations; and they have been finally occupied and developed by Americans. In every epoch they present a rich field for study. No minute and exhaustive chronicle has been attempted in this volume, but important events, with the customs and life of each period, have been brought together and presented. Changes have come with such rapidity that the conditions of fifty years ago seem remote to-day. In this swift progress the heritage of the past must not be forgotten.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of the Great Lakes Ess than fifty years after Columbus discovered America, Frenchmen, also seeking a route to China, began exploring the Saint Lawrence River. Indians told them there were great seas beyond. So there were, and regions richer than all the Indies, but no ancient cities with paved streets, no courtiers and schol ars. On the lonely shores of Lake Michigan young Jean Nico let donned a gorgeous Chinese silk robe to approach the Great Khan, but only Winnebago Indians greeted him. French missionaries were the first whites to come and live among the hostile savages. In the harsh northern wilderness Champlain built the fort of Quebec as a way-station between France and China. The French did not know it, but they themselves were bringing civilization to a country whose men were few and savage.

Provided with smoked meat and Indian corn, they embarked on May I7, 1673, with five men in two canoes. Paddling westward, they passed the Strait of Mackinac, crossed the northern section of Lake Michigan and reached a village of the Menominee or Green Bay Indians, who, unwilling to lose their position as middlemen in the fur trade, did their utmost to dis suade them from their journey with tales of natives who never Show mercy toward strangers, of horrible monsters, which de voured men and canoes together and of heat so excessive that it would inevitably cause our death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Ne-Saw-Je-Won" As the Ottawas Say: A Tale of the Waters That Run Down From Lake Superior to the Sea Several years ago a group of business men, accustomed to a mid summer trip together on a lake freighter, each day aﬂoat gathered to discuss subjects of mutual interest. One of them, a geologist, con tributed a series of informal talks on the Geology of the Great Lakes Region and the History of the Lakes, drawing illustrations from the rocks and shore features that could be observed from the ship. So much interest was aroused by these discussions that eventu ally it was planned to have the story written in brief, popular form, with the necessary maps and illustrations, so that it could be read at leisure and retained as a memento of such voyages. Years passed without any action being taken on this idea, until in the fall of 1938, Miss Helen M. Martin, geologist, associated with the Michigan Geological Survey, was engaged to prepare the manu script. As she is intimately familiar with the geology of the lakes region and is a former student of Dr. Frank Leverett (who, with the late Frank B. Taylor, is mainly responsible for what is known of the origin and development of the Great Lakes) Miss Martin is especially qualified for this undertaking. In the spring of 1939, her manuscript, sketch maps and photographs were turned over to Mr. M. D. Harbaugh, who has done the editorial work, prepared final drawings, and designed and directed the publication.

Book excerpt: Award-winning nature author Jerry Dennis reveals the splendor and beauty of North America’s Great Lakes in this “masterwork”* history and memoir of the essential environmental and economical region shared by the United States and Canada. No bodies of water compare to the Great Lakes. Superior is the largest lake on earth, and together all five contain a fifth of the world’s supply of standing fresh water. Their ten thousand miles of shoreline border eight states and a Canadian province and are longer than the entire Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. Their surface area of 95,000 square miles is greater than New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island combined. People who have never visited them—who have never seen a squall roar across Superior or the horizon stretch unbroken across Michigan or Huron—have no idea how big they are. They are so vast that they dominate much of the geography, climate, and history of North America, affecting the lives of tens of millions of people. The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas is the definitive book about the history, nature, and science of these remarkable lakes at the heart of North America. From the geological forces that formed them and the industrial atrocities that nearly destroyed them, to the greatest environmental success stories of our time, Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario are portrayed in all their complexity. A Michigan native, Jerry Dennis also shares his memories of a lifetime on or near the lakes, including a six-week voyage as a crewmember on a tallmasted schooner. On his travels, he collected more stories of the lakes through the eyes of biologists, fishermen, sailors, and others he befriended while hiking the area’s beaches and islands. Through storms and fog, on remote shores and city waterfronts, Dennis explores the five Great Lakes in all seasons and moods and discovers that they and their connecting waters—including the Erie Canal, the Hudson River, and the East Coast from New York to Maine—offer a surprising and bountiful view of America. The result is a meditation on nature and our place in the world, a discussion and cautionary tale about the future of water resources, and a celebration of a place that is both fragile and robust, diverse, rich in history and wildlife, often misunderstood, and worthy of our attention. “This is history at its best and adventure richly described.”—*Doug Stanton, author of In Harm’s Way: The Sinking of the U.S.S.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Effects of Winds and of Barometric Pressures on the Great Lakes No new observations were made in this investigation. The necessary observations, in great abundance, and of adequate accuracy and reliability, had already been made. The principal data used include hourly and daily observed elevations of the surface of Lake Erie and Lake Michigan - Huron at five gage stations, observed hourly wind directions and velocities at five points near these two lakes, and the observed barometric pressures twice per day at six points. The hourly elevations of the water surface which were used on Lake Erie covered 48 selected days at Buffalo and 52 selected days at Cleveland. On Lake Michigan - Huron the hourly elevations of the water surface which were used covered 34 days at Milwaukee, 42 days at Harbor Beach, and 42 days at Mackinaw. The daily mean elevations of the water surface which were used on Lake Erie covered the months August - October 1909 and June - October 1910 eight months in all. Each daily mean was the mean of 24 hourly values for that day obtained from the records of the automatic gages which had operated at Buffalo and Cleveland. The two sets of daily means were entirely separate and independent for the two stations Buffalo and Cleveland. On Lake Michigan - Huron the daily mean elevations of the water surface which were used were separate and independent series at each of the three stations, Milwaukee, Mackinaw, and Harbor Beach, each covering the months J une - September 1910 and J une - September 1911 - eight months in all. Each daily mean was the mean of 24 hourly values for that day obtained from an automatic gage. The observed hourly Winds which were used had been obtained from recording anemometers and wind vanes as operated at the U. S. Weather Bureau stations at Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Port Huron (michigan) and Sault Ste. Marie (michigan). For each hour the total travel of wind in that hour was observed and the prevailing direction to'the nearest of the principal points, N, ne, E, se, etc., at intervals of The hourly winds used at the stations named cover all of the months named in connection with the daily mean elevations of water surface and also all of the separate days for which hourly water elevations were used.
