Pioneers of 1848: Potters’ Early Michigan Journey
Theodore Potter and his brother Joe Van Planck leave home in 1849 seeking California. They toil for hire across Michigan towns, endure setbacks, and return home with stories of maple sap, logs, railroads, and a dangerous night rescue of a lost boy. Joe dies in a dysentery outbreak, while Theodore later helps his mother fund a California dream. A dramatic deer encounter saves a missing child, a tale still echoed in today’s schools.
