Mrs. Merritt Talks to World History Classes Interesting Facts Found in Michigan History That Michigan has an interesting story was proved by a talk given to the World History classes by Rosalind Merritt w'ho lives on Lin- coln St. Mrs. Merritt has spent her leisure lime reading on and travel- ing in Michigan. She was born in the upper peninsula, later coming to Charlotte. She told that the first man in Michigan was Jean Nicolet who came here wearing a black Chinese robe. The Indians thought he was a spirit because he carried a gun—something they had never seen. Indians settled often by the river, as at Bellevue. Vermontvillc. Nashville, and Charlotte, near the water works. Battle Creek was so named because of the lights that Indians and white people had on that river. The first Bible in Michigan was printed in the Indian language. At the present time there are only thirty-eight copies left. They are worth five hundred dollars a copy.
