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.
