Part 6 - The Wilds of Saginaw Michigan in 1831
22 MAR. 2020 · Part Six - Finally in Saginaw With the help of Indian Guides, Alexis describes the experience of the last town on the frontier. In 1831, 26-year-old Alexis de Tocqueville and his friend Gustave de Beaumont, took the ultimate road trip. The pair of French aristocrats journey from Buffalo New York to the Straights of Detroit with the intent of going to the last overland outpost of civilization; Saginaw. Predating Michigan’s statehood, the lumber industry, and homestead settlement, the story weaves a tale of what early Northwest territory life was like in the early 1800s. We travel with them along with the famous Saginaw trail meeting unique individuals hacking their way into virgin forests and meeting its native inhabitants. It's also a commentary of the environment and how supposedly civilized society will forever impact nature. This takes place 180 years before today's concept of climate change. It's a fascinating short story that is an excerpt from the book A Fortnight in the Wilderness and is now freely available for the first time anywhere as a podcast. -
