This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Names and History of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal The only water-way between Lake Superior and the lower lakes is the Saint Mary's River, which flows from Lake Superior at its eastern extremity, and empties into Lake Huron 37 miles east of Mackinac Island. The channel between the two lakes is about 75 miles long, and was, before improvement, obstructed in many places, but especially at the Rapids of Saint Mary, 15 miles from the head of the river. In their natural state these rapids formed a barrier to transportation by water, and made a portage necessary. The fall of the river from Lake Superior to the rapids of St. Mary is one tenth of a foot; in the half-mile stretch of these rapids the fall is 18 feet; and from the foot of the rapids to the Lake Huron level, which is reached at Mud Lake, 35 miles below, the fall is feet.

This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Semi-Centennial Reminiscences of the Sault Canal (Lake Superior): 1852-5 The following sketches of semi-centennial incidents came under the personal observation of an active partici pant, who, at this late date, can certify as to their correct ness, and which owe their preservation in the present form to the offer of the undersigned to edit the same, with the exception of the first (and also the third in the series, bearing the title The Widow of Michael Phelan. This was written at the urgent solicitation of the editor of the Magazine of Western History, in 1889, when the writer was spending his summer vacation in the Maritime Provinces of Canada. More contributions of the kind were wanted, but the author did not respond as desired. The editor of the M arine Review was in correspondence with Mr. Harvey for nearly two years before the first of this series was obtained. His friends have heard him narrate incidents of a trip made by him along the south coast of Lake Superior in a small boat in December, 1855, which he has been urged to have recorded in print but has never complied. In a recent published letter to the governor of Michigan, when presenting a unique his torical document to the State, he refers to that journey as one when on three several occasions his life was not worth a five minutes purchase. He has, however, prom ised that if this compilation reaches a second edition he will furnish for it a more full account than the one referred to. In some of the sketches he is styled the agent, for brevity's sake, instead of his official title of general agent, and also for a short time before his appointment to that office. The recognition which the congress of the United States and the legislature of Michigan have accorded to the Sault canal in providing for a semi - centennial cele bration of its inauguration has afforded an argument for the publication of local reminiscences which has proved potent to the extent covered by these pages, and which the compilers trust will add to the zest of that occasion, as well as form a valuable addition to the history of the local ity for reference in after years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pageant of Saint Lusson, Sault Ste, Marie, 1671: An Address Delivered at the Annual Commencement of the University of Michigan, Thursday, June 30, 1892 We will lift the curtain, if you please, on a wild pageant in the early history of Michigan. The scene is at the Sault Ste. Mario in 1671. But first, we must needs understand the conditions which had brought events to such a pass that a representative of the French king, just at this time and precisely at this spot, had found it meet to proclaim the sovereignty of France over a vast area where France possesses to-day not a rood of territory. The discovery of America, and discovery in America for over three centuries, were the pursuit of a chimera. The illusion which had brought Columbus across the forbidding waste of water was the vision of a short water-way to Cathay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Canals: Their History and Cost, With an Inquiry Into the Policy Necessary to Advance the Well-Being of the Province Mr. Bancroft in his history, volume 4, page 260, expresses surprise that Amherst should have taken this route. The reason is very obvious. It was to prevent the retreat of the remainder of the French army by the St. Lawrence to the valley of the Mississippi. A line of tactics correct in theoretical strategy as it proved suc cessful in practice. It is a curious analogy that the western producer hopeless of the improvement of the St. Lawrence, should like M. De Vaudreuil a century back, turn his thoizgfiilts to the Great Western stream as a refuge. (report Canal Conven tion held at cago, 1863, passim.)
