About this product

Product Information

Even before it was named in 1671, St. Ignace was a key part of Michigan history. Before Fr. Jacques Marquette and the Jesuits arrived in the Straits of Mackinac, St. Ignace had a large Native American settlement. With the arrival of the French, fur trading became an important industry. St. Ignace became the county seat in 1882. By the mid-1800s, fishing, shipping, manufacturing, and lumbering were a crucial part of St. Ignace activity. As these industries died down, tourism increased. The area was appealing to tourists for its natural beauty and its fresh air; many came for relief from hay fever and asthma. Initially travelers arrived by ship and train. Ferryboats were important in transporting visitors and goods because of the primitive road system. With its natural harbor, St. Ignace was within easy reach of other Great Lakes ports. With the completion of the Mackinac Bridge in 1957, travel to St. Ignace became much easier. St. Ignace is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Upper Peninsula."

Title: St. Ignace History Book a Pleasure Author: Patty Cronan Brooks Publisher: The St. Ignace News Date: 1/15/2009 Since Cindy Patten at the St. Ignace Public Library tells me I am the first person to order the St. Ignace history book, "Images of America, St. Ignace," I feel moved to write and encourage others to order this book. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed the book over and over again. I purchased it at the All-class Reunion this summer (class of 1968) and enjoyed getting into it on the plane back to Phoenix. It is still on the stand next to my husband's favorite chair, so we can take a look often. My husband is a retired history teacher, so of course it is fun for him, too. Although he is from Oregon, and his heart is there in the summer, he loves to visit the Mackinac Straits with me. He reads the history parts of the paper with me, too. His first trip to "town" with me was spent seeing a lot of the historical sites. We still do some of that on every trip to Michigan, which lately has been every summer. If you have not taken a look at this book - on display at the library - please do. You will enjoy what it has for you. There is something for all of you in this book, a great idea to show off our town. My heart is still there, too, even though I left 40 years ago. My dad is featured in the book in a photo I had never seen before. What a nice surprise. You may have the same experience, but you won't know that until you visit Cindy and take a look at this book. Happy reading. Patty Cronan Brooks Scottsdale, Arizona Editor's note: The library has sold more than 400 of the books since it went on sale October 30.
