A Peculiar and Beautiful Curiosity in Michigan Waters
A Chicago Record account describes Kitehi-ta-Kipi, the Big Spring of the Chippewas in Michigan. It is a nearly circular, 200 foot diameter spring 45 feet deep with water so clear that coins and grains at the bottom are visible. The water can appear in multiple greens when undisturbed, and the spring has a magnifying property making objects look larger. Legends tell of lovers and the spirit guiding a night escape, the healing waters curing a princess, and a drowned eagle whose outlines may be seen. Cedars decay into the spring, mosses bright green, and visitors once left silver and now tin offerings.
