Historical Images & Recollections from the Sleeping Bear Dunes Area

A Port Oneida Collection

Oral History, Photographs, and Maps from the Sleeping Bear Region, Vol. 1

      Meet the pioneers of Port Oneida, and those who followed—Mary, the hermit of Pyramid Point; Henry & Ernie, the odd but brilliant bachelor brothers; Lanie, the “Barefooted Fishergirl”; Elmer, the deaf wanderer; Katie, the midwife; and their neighbors. How did they go about their activities? How did they get along with one another? What did they have to say? How did they talk? What did they look like? What did they think?
      These are the sorts of things to be found in the oral history interviews, memoirs, photographs, and other records in this project and book. An Internet link to audio excerpts from some of the interviews is included, so you can hear the participants tell their stories in their own voices.

This is Volume 1 of the Oral History, Photographs, and Maps from the Sleeping Bear Region 2-part set.$35
