Underground Railroad

“Fugitives generally entered the state by one of three routes:  through western Ohio to Adrian and Detroit; through eastern Indiana, to Coldwater, Marshall, and Battle Creek; or through central Indiana to Niles and Cassiopolis.  Most of those who came through Indiana then followed the Territorial Road east to Detroit.  A smaller number were sent northeast from Battle Creek toward Port Huron.  Fewer still were forwarded to Canada via vessels on Lake Michigan or overland toward the Upper Peninsula.  Along the way, Underground Railroad activists could be counted on to provide runaways with food, clothing, medical care, hiding places, protection from slave catchers, transportation if they chose to go on, and assistance settling into local communities in southern Michigan if they chose to remain.”  – From “A Beacon of Liberty on the Great Lakes” by Roy E. Finkenbine.  In Paul J. Finkelman and Martin J. Hershock (editors), The History of Michigan Law (Athens: Ohio University Press, 2006).  (ANSWER record:  http://magic.msu.edu/record=b4863195a )  The above quote can be found on page 88.   

  The Michigan Freedom Trail Commission has scans of primary documents on its web site.  They call this “The Archives Reading Room.”  You can access the site from this page:  http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-17451_18670_44390—,00.html  (For the Archives Reading Room documents, go to the pull down menu labeled “FTL Archival Resources.”)

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Records

Persons researching the Civilian Conservation Corps may want to visit the National Association of the Civilian Conservation Corps Alumni web site; of particular interest to researchers is an article aboutresearching CCC Records. The article contains the following advice for obtaining CCC personnel files: “All personnel files are still held by the federal government. The enrollee or the enrollee’s next of kin may request discharge papers. Discharge papers are the best source to find the company and camps the enrollee was assigned to (see address below). Other information, including camp and company reports, reside in the National Archives. To date these items are not indexed, but are available for study at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Request discharge papers at National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) National Personnel Records Center Civilian Personnel Records 111 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63118” The web site also maintains a list of all CCC Camps across the country, including camps in Missouri, and NACCCA maintains a CCC museum at Jefferson Barracks County Park St. Louis. The Local History and Genealogy Department maintains an Information File about the CCC entitled “Works Progress Administration”, and a book, “Roosevelt’s forest army: a history of the Civilian Conservation Corps, 1933-1942”, may be found in the library catalog.

Michigan as “no man’s land”

MICHIGAN TERRITORY

“After the admission of Indiana in 1816 the central part of the Upper Peninsula between the meridian of Mackinac and Menominee was left outside the limits of any State or Territory and with no government. It remained “no man’s land” until 1818.”
