LAST HISTORY HOUNDS SESSION OF 2018
Riding the Rails: 
The Pere Marquette 1225 Locomotive

The Pere Marquette 1225 was just one of dozens of "Berkshire"-type steam
locomotives. Most went to the scrapyards, but the 1225 survived as an
outdoor exhibit at Michigan State University. On Wednesday, December 12, at
7 p.m., presenter Kevin P. Keefe tells the amazing story of the rebirth of
the historic Berkshire locomotive and her becoming the real-life model for
the Polar Express.

Rescues From the Wrecks

"Regulations say we have to go out. They don't say we have to come back."
That was the United States Life-Saving Service's unofficial motto. Great
Lakes life-saving crews rowed to save shipwrecks in a surfboat or used small
cannons to shoot a rope to the wreck. No matter how dangerous the weather,
orders required them to go out. In 1915, the Life-Saving Service and the
Revenue Cutter Service merged to become the United States Coast Guard. 

Michigan History Back Cover Photo Contest

The Historical Society of Michigan recently launched the 2019 Michigan
History Back Cover Photo Contest. The contest is open to all amateur
photographers, including those who make less than 50 percent of their income
through photography. Michigan History/Historical Society of Michigan staff

award-winning photos will be featured on the back cover of Michigan History
magazine, submissions must be in color, minimally edited, and taken in
Michigan. Send all entries by e-mail to mhmeditor at hsmichigan.org, and visit
