Bay City Logbook
Author: Jeremy W. KilarPublisher:
ISBN: 9780943963570
Category : Bay City (Mich.)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Author's Preface: The title, Bay City Logbook, suggest several historical themes that are interwoven within Bay City's past. Indeed a "Logbook" is a record of events most commonly associated with a ship or aircraft. From that perspective, the community's ship-building industry, its fishing lore, and its pioneers in aviation legitimize the title choice. More recognizable, though, is the reality that little progress would have taken place had it not been for the city's original dependence on logs and lumber. The lumber boom of the second half of the nineteenth century initiated the development of a complex urban society. Economic guideposts put in place during the lumber era also directed the city along the twentieth-century highway that continues the community's industrial journey. A "Logbook," in the broadest sense of the meaning is "a record of progress of a journey or an experiment". This defines Bay City's past well, and gives direction to an illustrated history that traces both the pathways to progress and the innovation that characterized Bay City's heritage. These are the themes that direct Bay City's past and should be noted as one looks through this illustrated history. By combining text, remembrances, and narrative with photographs, the reader can grasp the legacy of Bay City's enduring past. It is a journey marked by persistence and durability. Bay City Logbook should encourage everyone to study the community's past as an indispensable resource to plan for the future
The Cities of the Bay

Book Description
In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville described the Saginaw Valley as the Ã"far westÃ" of our growing nation, predicting that its impenetrable forests would soon be felled, and its river would be lined with quays and filled with vessels. Influential settlers soon began to confirm those predictions, including the Trombleys, who arrived in 1831 and built the Trombley House in 1837. Albert Miller platted Portsmouth in 1836Ã--and Lower Saginaw, now known as Bay City, was platted the same year. Throughout the 20th century, majestic buildings were erected, schools, homes, and churches were established, and Bay City developed into a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.

Take a stroll through the City by the Bay with renowned artist Wendy MacNaughton in this collection of illustrated documentaries.

Her street-smart graphic journalism is as diverse and beautiful as San Francisco itself, ranging from the vendors at the farmers' market to people combing the shelves at the public library, from MUNI drivers to the bison of Golden Gate Park, and much more. Meanwhile in San Francisco offers both lifelong residents and those just blowing through with the fog an opportunity to see the city with new eyes.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
At the beginning of the 20th century, Bay City was the third biggest city in Michigan, after Detroit and Grand Rapids. Lumber and sawmills were a big part of that success. The wealth amassed by its lumber barons built a vibrant downtown and mansions along its main streets. Add industry, shipping, sugar beets, schools, and churches to the mix, and you have the pictures in this book. These postcards show you how Bay City looked at its peak in the very early 1900s until about 1940-a time when people were glad they had reached their destinations and happy to send a postcard when they arrived.
Michigan's Lumbertowns
Author: Jeremy W. KilarPublisher: Wayne State University Press
ISBN: 9780814320730
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Michigan's foremost lumbertowns, flourishing urban industrial centers in the late 19th century, faced economic calamity with the depletion of timber supplies by the end of the century. Turning to their own resources and reflecting individual cultural identities, Saginaw, Bay City, and Muskegon developed dissimilar strategies to sustain their urban industrial status. This study is a comprehensive history of these lumbertowns from their inception as frontier settlements to their emergence as reshaped industrial centers. Primarily an examination of the role of the entrepreneur in urban economic development, Michigan Lumbertowns considers the extent to which the entrepreneurial approach was influenced by each city's cultural-ethnic construct and its social history. More than a narrative history, it is a study of violence, business, and social change.
