East Coast colonists arrived and began keeping the first written records of man on North American soil. This was the beginning of North America’s historical period and in no way did it become more pronounced than by the fur trade. This pursuit of furbearing wealth began about the time colonists stepped off the first boats, and would ultimately lead to an aggressive European exploration of the mid-continent with Michigan becoming a pivotal locus.”

Recenzii
“… Jim Lithen has spent thousands of hours in libraries reading old newspapers and taking notes. He read endless local histories and talked with many interesting and interested folks who had a kernel or two of truth to offer. The result is The Road to Marion Town, a book that makes history come alive, for which the history lover, truth seeker and storyteller in many of us will be truly thankful.”
