This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Where did they come from, and where did they go?" These simple questions led author Claudia Goudschaal on a quest to find and record the working boats that visited the shores of Leelanau County, Michigan. The result is this compendium of the schooners and small wooden steamers of 1835-1900-a time of rapid change, of fortunes made and lost, of storms and shipwrecks, and of ordinary working life, too.

Download or read book The Colony written by Hayward Draper and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to explore the history of a 1908 communal Cottage Row called The Colony, and also the nearby 1889 summer resort called Fountain Point. This history directly concerns Lake Leelanau, Michigan, but it also reflects major social and economic changes shared with many other parts of the United States due to the growth in the late 19th century of vacationing as a culmination of the Industrial Revolution. We explore these issues by telling the stories of the six families who joined The Colony, and other families who then built summer cottages nearby. They ran the gamut from a retired widow and a traveling salesman, to a distinguished physician, to two wealthy owners of the Ohio company that first invented and sold KitchenAid appliances. Hayward Draper’s meticulous unfolding of the history of The Colony not only sheds light on the era’s economic history but also encourages readers to explore the histories of their own idyllic vacation spots, including several he mentions created by members of the African American community. Draper’s book is both a fascinating read and a major contribution to scholarship. -Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Harvard University Draper weaves together interesting stories of a diverse cast of characters with factual and charming appeal. This original research sheds new light on the history of Lake Leelanau, Fountain Point, and the interplay between original settler families and newly arriving vacationers. Since it ties this in with similar developments across America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it merits reading by anyone. -Kim Kelderhouse Director, Leelanau Historical Society

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly photographed collection follows the arc of change in the peaceful Sleeping Bear Bay region in Michigan from its late 19th- and early 20th-century fishing and farming beginnings to the development of an idyllic boys camp between the 1920s and the 1960s, and eventually to its resort conversion. Organized by year, the book captures the daily life of the campers as they learn Latin, build boats, study aeronautics, grow vegetables, and raise animals; the camps history; and the development of the vacation industry that marks it today.

Download or read book Mastering the Inland Seas written by Theodore J. Karamanski and published by University of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore J. Karamanski's sweeping maritime history demonstrates the far-ranging impact that the tools and infrastructure developed for navigating the Great Lakes had on the national economies, politics, and environment of continental North America. Synthesizing popular as well as original historical scholarship, Karamanski weaves a colorful narrative illustrating how disparate private and government interests transformed these vast and dangerous waters into the largest inland water transportation system in the world. Karamanski explores both the navigational and sailing tools of First Nations peoples and the dismissive and foolhardy attitude of early European maritime sailors. He investigates the role played by commercial boats in the Underground Railroad, as well as how the federal development of crucial navigational resources exacerbated sectionalism in the antebellum United States. Ultimately Mastering the Inland Sea shows the undeniable environmental impact of technologies used by the modern commercial maritime industry. This expansive story illuminates the symbiotic relationship between infrastructure investment in the region's interconnected waterways and North America's lasting economic and political development.
