300 Years ago today, Jesuit priest, explorer, and secret Government Operative for France, Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix and his small crew of men traveling by canoe passed by this area. High winds forced the group to halt their journey and stay the night on a little island (presumably Fisherman's Island). ![]()
Charlevoix wrote in his journal. “I departed from Michillimakinac the Day before Yesterday at Noon, and I am now detained here in a little island that has no Name…Yesterday I went three leagues further” (from Little Traverse Bay) “and a high wind obliged me to stop at this island.” ![]()
