Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Fort St. Joseph or Michigan Under Four Flags Fort St. Joseph, over which floated the flag of Spain in 1781, was located in the third ward of the present city of Niles, Michigan. It covered about two acres of ground which is now under cultivation, no trace of its outline remaining. I visited the site in the fall of 1905 and, through the kindness of Mr. Lewis H. Beeson of Niles, whose family has long been of that region and owned the land adjacent to the site, saw innumerable evidences of its authenticity. Mr. Beeson has been a lifelong student of the valley of the St. Joseph and a constant collector of relics of the ancient fort, comprising articles of an imperishable nature, such as flintlocks and flints, buttons of the French soldiers, indestructible portions of officers' epaulettes, nails made by hand, Scaribs, and tokens given by the priests to the Indians; all sorts of Indian relics including a splendid collection of beads from the smallest to the very largest used for necklaces, etc., all in good state of preservation, but showing great age in their incrustations. He has been collecting since boyhood, and states that no relics ever were discovered outside of a certain area of about two acres, marking the limit of the enclosure. The topography of the country in the vicinity is about the same as when the mission was begun and when La Salle and Hennepin and Tonty and Marquette passed up and down the river on their way to and from Kankakee portage to the waters of the Mississippi. On a bluff to the east of the fort and overlooking it, when the first settlers came into this valley about 1825, stood a large wooden cross, which has been replaced by a new one as often as it fell from age or decay. At present it is down, leaning upon one arm, but I learn that arrangements are being made to erect a new one in its place, either of wood or of some more enduring material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort St. Joseph Revealed is the first synthesis of archaeological and documentary data on one of the most important French colonial outposts in the western Great Lakes region. Located in what is now Michigan, Fort St. Joseph was home to a flourishing fur trade society from the 1680s to 1781. Material evidence of the site—lost for centuries—was discovered in 1998 by volume editor Michael Nassaney and his colleagues, who summarize their extensive excavations at the fort and surrounding areas in these essays. Contributors analyze material remains including animal bones, lead seals, smudge pits, and various other detritus from daily life to reconstruct the foodways, architectural traditions, crafts, trade, and hide-processing methods of the fur trade. They discuss the complex relationship between the French traders and local Native populations, who relied on each other for survival and forged links across their communities through intermarriage and exchange, even as they maintained their own cultural identities. Faunal remains excavated at the site indicate the French quickly adopted Native cuisine, as they were unable to transport perishable goods across long distances. Copper kettles and other imported objects from Europe were transformed by Native Americans into decorative ornaments such as tinkling cones, and French textiles served as a medium of stylistic expression in the multi-ethnic community that developed at Fort St. Joseph. Featuring a thought-provoking look at the award-winning public archaeology program at the site, this volume will inspire researchers with the potential of community-based service-learning initiatives to tap into the analytical power at the interface of history and archaeology.
