Download or read book Ecorse Michigan written by Kathy Covert Warnes and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecorse, the oldest downriver community, was the site of many critical battles from the French and Indian War through the War of 1812 as French and English settlers forged new homes in the Michigan wilderness. By 1827, the scattering of settlers had developed into a small community, and the township of Ecorse was formed. During the Prohibition era, the peaceful riverfront was transformed into hideouts for rumrunners and other nefarious lawbreakers. From a prosperous shipbuilding industry to a championship rowing club and the Detroit River runs made by the Bob-Lo boats, Ecorses maritime history is one that continues to engage residents and impel the community forward.
