Download or read book FRANKFORT written by Rachel Gilmore and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A village known for its 1890s charm, Frankfort is home to people and places that have tightly woven a vintage thread across generations, uniting the community for over 150 years. With strong German roots that inspired the town's name and an appreciation for hard work and good moral character, the citizens of Frankfort solidified the village's place on the Midwestern prairie as a center for commerce and transportation as well as cultural, social, and spiritual development. It continued, after World War II and on through the 20th century, to hang on to its small-town identity and values, underpinning everyday life with down-home community spirit. From the ongoing rebirth of the historic downtown business district to the evolution of Sauerkraut Days into the nationally recognized Frankfort Fall Festival to the rails-to-trails conversion of the Michigan Central Railroad tracks to the preservation of Frankfort's iconic landmarks (the Grainery [sic] and the water tower), Frankfort is a community that values its heritage while clearly envisioning its future.

Book excerpt: Alvin Price and Lydia Cockrum literally bump into one another in the summer of 1870 and fall in love. But love is seldom without its struggles. Alvin is a farmer, and Lydia is the privileged daughter of an engineer aligned with northern Michigan's powerful lumber industry. The Cut tells the story of the two interests at odds over a dam powering a sawmill. The problem: the dam floods out hundreds of acres of farmland. When the lumbermen ignore a court order to stop the damming, Alvin leads the farmers to action. In the spring of 1871, they dig a narrow, shallow ditch five hundred yards long, intending to relieve the flooding. None of them foresee the force of nature that will rage when the bulwark holding the pent-up waters of Portage Lake is torn back. The cut changes forever the way of life around the lake, and with it, Alvin and Lydia's relationship. But Mother Nature isn't through with them yet. On October 8, 1871, a terrible storm will sweep across the upper Midwest, setting off fires in Chicago and dozens of other cities, including Manistee, Michigan. Can Alvin and Lydia's love survive a second force majeure?
Download or read book Irish Immigrants in Michigan A History in Stories written by Pat Commins & Elizabeth Rice and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To leave or stay was the question for the Irish in the nineteenth century. In Ireland, people suffered persecution, poverty and famine. America offered freedom and opportunity. For those who left and came to Michigan, the land's abundant natural resources encouraged them to become loggers, miners, fishermen, traders and farmers. Others became rail workers, merchants, lawyers, soldiers, doctors and teachers. Governor Frank Murphy advocated for civil rights. Sister Agnes Gonzaga Ryan administered schools and hospitals. Charlie O'Malley provided generously to suffering Irish people. Lighthouse keeper James Donohue never let physical disability deter him. Prospector Richard Langford discovered iron ore and then left others to mine its wealth. Authors Pat Commins and Elizabeth Rice share one story from each Michigan county about Irish immigrants or their descendants.
