A PLOT FOR OBTAINING THE LOWER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN
By J. V. CAMPBELL.
(Written August 11, 1857. )
It is not generally known that Michigan was at a very early day the theatre of some of the most extensive land speculations ever known in this
country. One, which was brought to the attention of Congress in 1795, was so remarkable in some of its features that it is singular it should be so generally unknown.
When General Wayne brought his Indian campaign to a successful termination he appointed a time for the tribes to meet him at Greenville, to conclude a definitive treaty.
