Opis

First created as a geographic township by government survey in 1837-38, and then as a political township in March of 1865, Blue Lake township, Muskegon county Michigan, has endured all the growing pains of larger communities and more. From its influx of returning eastern Civil war soldiers looking for a new start, Blue Lake was often degraded by outsiders, in the news for political infighting, a senseless bombing and the drowning that claimed the lives of seven family members during a cold Christmas holiday. Throughout its one hundred and fifty-year history, Blue Lake Township has weathered this and more, to now become a quiet, rural and peaceful home for its residents and a camping Mecca to places like the Blue Lake Fine Arts camp, and the Owasippe Scout Reservation, along with several others. This book provides the reader with the stories of the early history of Blue Lake Township, as they unfolded, and were often told by those who lived them.
