Lake Superior
In short, the Sault fell from its ideal and boasted commerce, as the metropolis of Lake Superior, to a very dull village, with grass-grown streets and rotting wharves and warehouses. The troops stationed at Fort Brady had been withdrawn to Mexico with no promise of return. But few of the Anglo-Saxons remained, and the pleasantly situated village of the Falls was given up to lounging Indians and contented Frenchmen, who could laugh and grow fat on a diet of fish and potatoes; cheering their evenings with the violin and dancing.
Attracted by the salubrious climate and excellent fishing, tourists from the south enlivened the dull aspect every summer by their cheerful presence and full purses.
