Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manitou Island "Which way now, Trigg?" The questioner, an elderly man, Robin Hunter by name, slouched forward, with his elbows on his knees, and gazed over the edge of the wharf. He was seated on a pile of cordwood that had lain in the weather for so many months that the clean split pine had been toned down to a hue in unison with the murkiness of the atmosphere and the sodden aspect of the marsh. Below him, with her nose rubbing against the water-sogged wooden piers, lay a small boat in which lounged another man. Against the gunwale of the boat a gun rested, and in the bottom, close to the rower's bench, lay a string of frog-legs, some snipe, and a brace or two of ducks. The boatman had been enjoying his sport away in the marsh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manitou and the Mountains: Via the Great Rock Island Route In presenting the attractions of Manitou the springs require no extensive mention, for though of more value than any of the elements which make up this charming resort, they are already by far the best known. The most important springs are the soda group, comprising the Manitou (doubtless the largest soda spring in the world), the Navajo and the Shoshone; and the iron group, composed of the Ute and Little Chief. The former lie ina large and beautiful park in the center of the town, and the latter in Engleman's Glen. Alto gether there are fourteen springs, and no two of them are alike in chemical analysis. Concerning the vague ideas of reverence associated with these fountains of mystery by the savages who first knew them, it may be of interest to repeat the legend as related by Capt. George Ruxton, an officer of the British army, who, in 1846 - 7, made a tour of the district, and spent many days in the valley Of Fontaine qui Bouille, or, as we vernacularize it, Fountain Creek.

This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development Concept Plan, Interpretive Prospectus: North Manitou Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan Most island visitors will arrive by ferry at a new dock in the village to stay a few nights on the island. A small contact station will be provided in a remodeled historic structure in the lifesaving station complex. The complex will also serve most administrative functions such as ranger residences. Most village structures outside the lifesaving station complex will be removed except for one building for maintenance and storage, one building for a camping shelter, and a historic sawmill. The sawmill will be preserved as an interpretive display if it is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Structures in the backcountry will be allowed to deteriorate naturally. An existing figure-eight trail system on former dirt roads will be retained and supplemented by a designated trail to Lake Manitou, also on a former dirt road. The open-camping policy will be continued for the backcountry, and a monitoring program will be instituted to check resource impacts and other management concerns. If necessary, more restrictive management actions will be implemented, such as designated campsites. The existing village campground will be supplemented by another small primitive campground south of the lifesaving station complex. Specific boundaries are proposed for the village wilderness exclusion, which will encompass the lifesaving station complex, sawmill, and camping shelter, and will provide access to private land in the village.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Manitou The Land of Manitou Trembling Mountain, the highest of the Laurentians, is known to the Indians as "Manitou-Ewitchi-Saga," "The Mountain of the Dread Manitou." Beside it is beautiful Lac Tremblant. The district is a Government Park, and no settlements exist between it and the Arctic. North in the mountains, noblest range of all, Mont Tremblant reigns, far seen from many a height, And, watching from its long majestic line, Hidden in ancient and unconquered pines, And wrapt in misty distance or in clouds, The Manitou-Ewitchi rules the wilds. He watches ever, and when evil men, Infringe the great laws of the wilderness, The long range trembles. He who then defies Must brave the tempest crashing 'round his path. Rough giant hemlocks hurled towards him, hail, Thunders and plunging bolts of fire; huge rocks Torn by mad torrents hunt him, while around, The indignant precipice reverberates Stern condemnation, Or if his pathway on the water be A sudden bright and lofty cloud appears Flashing like silver, racing down the lake, And, churning white the waves, the air, the sky, In universal shroud engulfs the boat. But those who learn the laws and them obey, Their breath is e'er the scent of balsam tops, Their drink the moss-edged, clear and ice-cold springs, Their wine the tonic of Auroral air, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderland, 1902 Just eleven miles from the Union Station, St. Paul, lies the lake known among the Indians as the lake of the White Bear. It is St. Paul's summer resort, a beautiful sheet of water entirely free from rocks, shoals, or other obstructions, and furnishing an ideal yachting course. Its dimensions four miles long by two miles wide, covering some acres in extent - hardly convey an idea of its apparent size. Its shore line is very irregular, beautifully wooded and turfed, and with various summer resorts and club houses dotting it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman travels alone to a remote island to uncover a past she never knew was hers in this thrilling modern ghost story When a mysterious letter lands in Hallie James's mailbox, her life is upended. Hallie was raised by her loving father, having been told her mother died in a fire decades earlier. But it turns out that her mother, Madlyn, was alive until very recently. Why would Hallie's father have taken her away from Madlyn? What really happened to her family thirty years ago? In search of answers, Hallie travels to the place where her mother lived, a remote island in the middle of the Great Lakes. The stiff islanders fix her first with icy stares and then unabashed amazement as they recognize why she looks so familiar, and Hallie quickly realizes her family's dark secrets are enmeshed in the history of this strange place. But not everyone greets her with such a chilly reception—a coffee-shop owner and the family's lawyer both warm to Hallie, and the possibility of romance blooms. And then there's the grand Victorian house bequeathed to her—maybe it's the eerie atmosphere or maybe it's the prim, elderly maid who used to work for her mother, but Hallie just can't shake the feeling that strange things are starting to happen . . . In The Tale of Halcyon Crane, Wendy Webb has created a haunting story full of delicious thrills, vibrant characters, and family secrets.

Download or read book Michigan Place Names written by Walter Romig and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Aabec in Antrim County to Zutphen in Ottawa County, from Hell to Hooker, Michigan Place Names is a compendium of information on the origins of the state's geographical names. With alphabetically arranged thumb-nail sketches, Walter Romig introduces readers to a host of colorful personalities and episodes which have achieved notoriety, though sometimes shortlived, by devising or lending their names to the state's settlements. Romig spent more than ten years researching and documenting the entries to which he added an extensive bibliography of sources and an index of the personal names used in the text. For the curious, the librarian, the genealogist, or the historian, his book is an indispensable resource. Michigan Place Names is another "Michigan classic" reissued as a Great Lakes Book.
