| Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's
At one o'clock
of that day we commenced clearing the site of the present city of Marquette.
We began by chopping off the trees and brush at the point of the rocks just
south of the Cleveland ore docks. We cut the trees close to the ground and
threw them bodily over the bank on to the lake shore; then, under the
direction of Captain Moodv, we began the construction of a dock, which we
thought would stand like the pyramids. We did this by carrying these whole
trees into the water and piling them in tiers crosswise, until the pile was
even with the surface of the water.
