Download or read book Detroit s Historic Fort Wayne written by James Conway and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan's historic Fort Wayne, located on the narrowest point of the Detroit River, is named for Revolutionary War hero Gen. "Mad" Anthony Wayne. The fort was built in the 1840s to protect Detroit from British invasion following the strife of the 1838 Patriot War in Canada. Originally constructed of earth and wood, the fortifications were rebuilt in masonry during the Civil War, but the fort has never mounted cannons, as peace came to the international border and remains to this day. Fort Wayne has served the military as a training center, home to infantry regiments, supply depot, prisoner of war camp, and major induction center. It was a source of work for the unemployed during the Great Depression, a place of confinement during the Red Scare of 1920, and home for those displaced by civil unrest in Detroit during the 1960s. The fort continues to invite people to its riverfront view, not as soldiers but as guests, to enjoy community events on its broad parade fields and to learn about those who lived, drilled, and worked there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Travelers to Fort Wayne Having concluded my surveys for this season, I wished to view the country between the St. Mary's and the Miami [maumee] rivers, in order to examine for myself the practicability of uniting the Wabash with the Mi ami so as to render intercourse by water safe and easy between the Ohio and Lake Erie through the channel. I set out yesterday from Shane's Cross ing on the St. Mary's and, traveling through a district of good land on or near the right bank of that river for forty miles, reached this place early in the evening and early this morning I set off to look at the junction of the St. Joseph and the St. Mary's, which two streams form the Miami River. The St. Joseph River, rising in the Michigan Territory, runs south westerly about two hundred miles, receiving in its course several tributary streams. The St. Mary's, rising in Shelby County, Ohio, runs northwest erly more than two hundred miles (including its meanderings). Forming a junction from nearly opposite points, the rivers turn suddenly south and assume the name of Miami of the Lakes, or, as pronounced by the French, Maumee. Then, turning gradually round again, these congregated waters flow off in a northeast direction about two hundred miles, following the course of the river to the southwest end of Lake Erie.
