Situated on the south shore of Lake Superior, the Gogebic Iron Range of Michigan and Wisconsin exudes a strong sense of place. During the 1880s, a mining boom lured settlers, investment, and controversy. Investors from Milwaukee, Chicago, and Cleveland hoped to become rich, but many were pulled into scams or poorly managed mines and ended up losing their money. After iron stocks crashed, mining investors were more cautious. Many mining locations were abandoned, but towns such as Ironwood, Bessemer, Wakefield, and Hurley grew. For over 80 years, iron mining gave the Gogebic Range distinctive ethnicity and settlement patterns resulting in its unique cultural landscapes. The physical setting enhances the drama of the Gogebic. Lake-effect snowfall results in picturesque yet harsh winters, and thundering waterfalls have long attracted visitors.

Ironwood, Hurley and the Gogebic Range, Michigan (Images of America Series)
Today, we see Grand Haven as a tourist town, and home to many. The area of Grand Haven is known mainly as "Coast Guard City" and a place many people visit in late July/early August for the 10 day festival known as Coast Guard Festival. Before the festival was even founded, the Grand Haven area was a whole different place than we know it today! Many images and descriptions are shown in the book, The Grand Haven Area: 1860-1960.
Written and published by Wallace Ewing and David Seibold, The Grand Haven Area: 1860-1960 covers many topics such as: Resort Life, Life Saving Service and Coast Guard, Industries, Downtowns, Services, Private and Public, Residences, Humble and Grand, Transportation Overland and On Water, Recreation and Leisure, and Disasters, Large and Small. Personally, I really enjoyed reading about past disasters and re-buildings of things we see in Grand Haven today! This book is a good read for anyone, but I'd for sure recommend it to anyone who lives in the Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Ferrysburg area!
