Part 2: Long Version
FOURTH THURSDAY IN HISTORY:
Michigan's Columbus: the Life of Douglass Houghton
Join Steve Lehto as he describes the life and times of a near-mythic figure
in Michigan's history, the geologist Douglass Houghton. As Lehto recounts
in his latest publication, Michigan's Columbus: the Life of Douglass
Houghton, Houghton is a particularly important figure in the Keweenaw's
history: after all, his report about the Keweenaw's rich copper deposits
drew serious attention to the region and spurred one of the nation's first
mining booms in the early 1840s. A charismatic and accomplished person,
Houghton was also a practicing physician as well as one-time mayor of
Detroit. Yet his interest in geology and the natural world drew him back to
the Keweenaw repeatedly. His last trip, in 1845, would earn him another
important, yet tragic, place in the Keweenaw's history. Lehto will discuss
these and other aspects of Houghton's life that he researched in writing
his book.
This event will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday June 25th, 2009 at the
Keweenaw County Courthouse, which is located at 5095 Fourth Street in Eagle
River, Michigan. It is part of the Fourth Thursday in History speaker
series, sponsored by Keweenaw National Historical Park. Attendees will be
able to purchase copies of Lehto's books from the Isle Royale & Keweenaw
Parks Association.
The Fourth Thursday in History series arranges public presentations on
important aspects of Copper Country and regional history, including
techniques for historic preservation. Presentations are scheduled in venues
throughout the Keweenaw Peninsula, particularly at historic sites
associated with specific topics. They are free and open to the public.
