Steamboat Dortuit Sails Up Saut St Marie to Build Light House

Reports detail the Dortuit arriving with Capt Rood and 35 men bound for White Fish Point to erect a lighthouse. The propeller Faopenidence brought 200 tons of copper from the Pittsburgh mine, while O B Dibble and others arrived with miners and supplies for the Upper Canada Company. References to church deliberations, temperance exhortations, and political figures underscore a turbulent but era-typical local scene.
