Roosevelt on Trial

Did you know that former President Theodore Roosevelt sued the editor of
Ishpeming's newspaper, The Iron Ore, for libel?

In 1913, George Newlett, publisher of The Iron Ore, printed an article
stating that Roosevelt "gets drunk.and not that infrequently." In a
week-long trial in the Marquette County Courthouse, Roosevelt denied the
accusations and Newlett dramatically announced that he had been mistaken.
Roosevelt asked the court for only minor damages, so the jury awarded him
six cents.

UPCOMING HISTORY HOUNDS

Path to Freedom: Cass County and the Underground Railroad

Cass County played a key role in the Underground Railroad, as did Quakers
James Bonine and Stephen Bogue, who were members of an anti-slavery network.
Join us on September 12 at 7 p.m. for a presentation on how they and other
like-minded abolitionists sheltered freedom-seekers bound for Canada and
helped establish a thriving community of free African Americans in the
county.
