Description

Excerpt from The Old Mission Church of Mackinac Island: An Historical Discourse, Delivered at the Reopening, July 28th 1895 Protestant missions in the west advanced as the settle ment of the country moved from the sea-board. In the State of Michigan the first Protestant Indian mission of which I have learned was that of the Moravians on the Clinton river, at the present site of Mt. Clemens, near De troit. It was founded about 1780. But shortly afterwards was removed to Canada. The Northern Missionary Society was organized as early as 1797, and following up their labors among the Indians in Western New York, in 1821 they sent out three missionaries to found a work on Lake Huron. It was a coincidence in the spirit of enterprise that these brethren setting forth in their pioneer work should have embarked from Buffalo in the very first steamboat that floated on the lakes - the walk-in-the-water, as it was called. The ves sel was wrecked the first night out, but the missionaries, having put their hands to the plow, would not look back. They bought a team and journeyed over land through the wilderness of Canada and at length reached their destina tion and established their mission at Ft. Gratiot, at the entrance into Lake Huron. This station was not long con tinned. It was assumed in about two years by another board called The United Foreign Missionary Society. About the same time, however, the attention of this society was turned to Mackinac Island as a more important field.
