The whole reason why the businessmen came from Lansing and bought harbor point was because the railroad tracks came up here... And it's a really nice place

It was built in pascagoula Mississippi. Ingalls shipyard

Up until 2000, I could find a very few tree groups, that were young trees from 1880. So, they were massive 120 yr old white pine, hemlock, red pine and ash trees. The ash trees had all been killed by the ash borer. However, they’ve all been harvested. This is in Northern East Michigan.

Like to know about Cecil Abbott and Abbott pavilion. I actually own a treasure that came out of the pavilion..😊

Awsome video and channel

A retired airforce officer told me the b 52 tried to fly under the radar beam from empire with a gap filler in Petoskey, he said they were 50 feet off the water and first time successfully flew under , the second time the wing hit the water. , don't know how accurate this story is

I live in Newaygo county. Once part of the biggest desert east of the Mississippi. Now home of the Manistee National Forest and it is beautiful

So, I'm watching this presentation and thinking "Deep Woods Frontier - I'm sure there was a book by that name." Then I thought "Did this guy steal that name for this video?" So I go to my extensive collection of books on Michigan's lumbering era and sure enough, I have the book. Then I looked at the author. Well I'll be damned!😀

I feel like I'm being transported back to a simpler time when I hear this. Thank you

As a metal detectorist at late 1800s homesites in the mid-Michigan area, I find brass pump organ reeds at roughly 10% of the sites I detect. Is what is shown here using pump organ reeds and, if so, typical of what would be at these old 1800s homesites?

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this video. Is the map at 34:10 digitally available anywhere? I would love to study this further.

Just disgusting how they came, took everything and just left a destroyed land and dead rivers. Nothing to be proud of.

Nice trip down memory lane; my Dad was on Cliffs' boats in the 70's. Don't know if he ever sailed on Champlain, tho, Patton, Boyer, Victory, Mather, Greene, et al. You tell a good story.

Hi Beth I was wondering if you had a TH-cam video talking about Cecil Abbott. Abbott's pavilion.. I have a creators popcorn steam engine that he purchased in 1905 for his pavilion.. just like to learn more about him

I'd like to learn more about Cecil c Abbott . He came to harbor springs in 1875.. and he had the Abbott's pavilion... I own a creators popcorn engine that he purchased.. it's a peanut roaster

Thanks for creating. Very informative. I learned a lot.

My family farmed in the summer and logged in the Winter. Caro,Mayville, Roscommon county. 1840's to the 1890's. I am a proud Son of Michigan history.

Hello Beth..... Great video and lots of information. Moved to Harbor Springs a few years ago and love it. Thank you again.

very informative

First of all Michigan is the Great Lakes State, not the Wolverine state. I'm from Bellaire, Alba area. Lots of hiking in the Jordan river valley. Rich in logging in by gone days.

My great grandfather did logging up near Ironwood, Mi when he first moved to the US from Finland in 1886.

A great documentary

The William Clay Ford and Capt Erickson also left the safety of Whitefish Bay and went with the Anderson to search for the Fitz.

Thank you very much for developing and sharing this with us really interesting. Particularly interesting to me because I have a condo on the second floor of the Irwin building which is featured in most of the pictures with the Christmas tree lighting.

Wonderful presentation! Always watch & follow everything on the Fitzgerald , & have seen & heard the CG recordings & interviews, but never knew about the letter from Captain Cooper that Dave shared with us. Fascinating. Thank you Dave for sharing your wealth of experience with us & thank you Harbor Springs HS for giving him a platform.

Well done. Thanks. 4th generation Charlevoixan here. My cousin used to WALK to the UP on the ice to lumberjack. Back on 50’s and 60’s.

Haven't hear anything on the mighty Ausable river.

Thank you! An amazing presentation and very well thought out. Perhaps Le Griffon will remain a perennial mystery for us Michiganders

The axmen picture is telling of how the fallers would slim their handles to reduce the shock from swinging that axe all day. By 1880 the sawyers were taking advantage of the raker tooth to clear chips from their cuts which greatly improved efficiency during felling and bucking. Hartwick Pines State Park has examples of all the tools and equipment used by the lumberjacks as well as a recreation of the bunk house, cook shack and blacksmith shop.

Thank you very much from a Bay Viewer. Great historical research.

Well done. Thank you.

This book is such a treasure. It is one of my all time favorites. Thank you for sharing our ancestors with us. There is nothing out there like it. ❤

Thank you for making this video. He was my 5th great grandfathers nephew. ❤

Glad i found this.

An absolutely fascinating and thorough presentation on Michigan lumbering. Four generations of my family were lumberjacks, so it was very insightful for me. Thank you.

what class is it? (There were four of them made)

Great music and footage❤👀

Awesome
