Product Information

Once an ancient revered hunting and gathering site for Chippewa Indians, Isabella County today is home to one of the nation's largest Native American tribal-owned casino/resort complexes. Incorporated in 1859, during the turbulent times just ahead of the Civil War and birth year of the United States oil industry, the area became a modern-day commerce center. A rough-and-tumble timbering center saw Michigan's first lumber millionaire plat a town, and hardworking immigrants carved farms, villages, and towns from the timbered-out wilderness near the center of the Michigan Lower Peninsula. From harvesting lumber above the ground to harvesting petroleum below the ground, the area ushers in an oil boom just in time to be saved from the financial tribulations of the Great Depression. Today, thousands of young people flock to the area each year to attend Michigan's fourth-largest university, Central Michigan University. This is the saga of Isabella County, told as the county celebrates 150 years of economic and cultural diversity.

Title: Author: Staff Writer Publisher: Mt. Pleasant Monthly Date: 12/01/2008 Author Jack Westbrook released a new book charting the spatial evolution of Central Michigan University's Mt. Pleasant Campus along with the history of Isabella County. The book, titled, "Isabella County Pictorial 1959-2009" was released on November 10th in time for the celebration of 150 years of Isabella County. Westbrook gathered most of his pictures and information for the book from Clark Historical Library on the campus of CMU. "I wanted to focus on a smaller community like Mt. Pleasant," Westbrook said. "CMU sweepingly demonstrates the many changes the university's expansion had on the cultural and physical landscape of mid-Michigan." Westbrook collects all of the information for his books himself. He shoots the photographs, scans them and then writes the books. After everything is completed, he contacts another local historian to come and edit it. Each of his books, this is his 4th, contains around 800 photographs. "Including all the pictures, it is unlike anything in history that has ever been published in Mt. Pleasant," Westbrook said. "This book also shines light on cities that used to exist back in the day; for example Indian Mills used to exist and has changed its name six times." The "Isabella County Pictorial," is the fourth of Westbrook's books, all of which are published through Arcadia Publishing. The first three, also pictorial histories are "The Michigan Oil & Gas," "Central Michigan University," and "Mt. Pleasant Then and Now." The new book, which will be available at local book stores as well as through the Arcadia publishing website at www.arcadiapublishing.com boasts some 200 vintage photographs. Westbrook said the photos came primarily from the Clarke Library, but some came from a "massive publicity campaign," in which he asked people to loan him the photos long enough to scan them. He said he would even travel to the remote areas of the country to scan the photos, which would have been impossible without today's technology. "Twenty years ago this wouldn't have been possible," Westbrook said, adding, "I'm having almost as much fun with this job as I did with my first," which was ironically as a journalist. As a writer and historian Westbrook hopes that this pictorial history of Isabella county gives people a sense that there is much more to central Michigan than meets the eye, and this area, rich in history has roots in more than the logging industry. "Isabella County's unique story is of triumph," he said. "This book can only give glimpses of the millions of stories of the triumph contained in Isabella County's 575 square miles, 150 years, 89 named villages and would be settlements."
