Michigan Tidbits

I just thought I would write about some little know facts about Michigan that I read in a book called "Michigan A History of the Great Lakes" by Bruce Rubenstein.  Detroit established a free public high school in 1844.  The Catholepistemaid, or University of Michigania was established by Judge Woodward in 1817.  From 1860 to 1890, 1 billion trees were harvested in Michigan.  Michigan's first working rail line went from Erie to Kalamazoo.  This should be enough for you all to ponder on for now.  Have a great day.
