- On reverse: "A temporary mission was founded at Sault Ste. Marie in 1641, by the Jesuit fathers Joques and Raymbault, for the salvation of the Chippewas. In 1668 Father Marquette renewed the mission, and three years afterward he founded St. Ignace for the Hurons, on the northern shore of the Straits of Mackinaw. Within a few years this became a French military post. Less enduring fortresses were established by La Salle at St. Joseph, and by Du Latte at the outlet of Lake Huron. Marquette, together with Joilet, was a discoverer of the Mississippi River. After several years' devoted service among the barbarians in the vicinity of Chicago, he was returning to the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, but died during the journey and was buried by his companions. Soon after the conquest of Canada (1760-61) the great chief Pontiac raised the western country against the British garrisons occupying Detroit and Michilimackinac, and a conspiracy was planned to massacre them. But a friendly Indian warned the commanding officer, and the danger was averted. After the gates were shut upon him and his followers, Pontiac began a siege of the fort that lasted for more than a year. After Commodore Perry captured the British fleet on Lake Erie, in 1813, he took on his ships General Harrison's army of the West, which re-captured Detroit and broke the hostile power at the Battle of the Thames. When the first steamboats reached Detroit and Mackinaw, in 1818-19, the amazed Indians were made to believe that they were drawn by teams of trained sturgeons.
