- Description:
- 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.

- This is an artificial collection of Stockbridge local history materials assembled by library staff. There are several themes and types of materials within the collection. It is likely that more will be added. Themes represented in the collection include family histories, business history, church and cemetery information, general local history topics, the proposed Superconducting Supercollider (1980s), the Waterloo area, and some other regional history. Types of material include photocopied newspaper articles and documents, and some original clippings. There is a large group of area telephone directories from different publishers. Published family, church, and business histories, and newsletters of several area organizations are also in the collection. Some of the newspaper clippings come from scrapbooks that were kept by local individuals such as Mary Lessie Ramsdell Farrington (the Ramsdell Clippings and Scrapbook) or Casper W. Glenn (the Alaniz Clippings) on the theme of vital records or Stockbridge events and activities. These often have some type of index. Other clippings, such as those from the Town Crier, are organized chronologically and have no other index (Note that clippings from 2003 were not found.). There are a few maps and some local/state government reports and studies in the collection as well.

- Description:
- 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.
