Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
White Devil is the same man who I have said broke up and took possession of the store the winter before I went in charge. This winter settled the question of quietly holding the Forks trading post during remaining years of trade. During this winter's trade of mine at this post, my wife and daughter were with my father, on the old homestead, at Silver Lake.
We established stores at River Au Sable, with a clerk and two men; one on Cass river, clerk and two men; one at Sebewaing, clerk and two men. We also commissioned several Indian women with goods to trade for us.
