In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we follow fur trader Louis Campau as he builds the first permanent white settlement in the Saginaw Valley in 1815. From his log trading post on the Saginaw River, Campau traded with the Anishinaabe and helped shape the future of Michigan.His post became the site of the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw, a deal that ceded over 6 million acres of Native land to the United States. Learn how one man, one building, and one treaty helped launch the city of Saginaw—and marked a turning point in Michigan's early history.Read more about this story at The Campau Trading Post – How One Fur Post Sparked the Founding of Saginaw.

When most people visit a museum, they walk through history. But aboard the USS Edson, you're walking inside it. In this episode, Navy veteran and lifelong Bay City resident Bill Randall takes us deep into the hull of a Vietnam-era destroyer—now a floating museum—and deeper still into the heart of what it means to serve, remember, and preserve.From scavenging radar systems through old-school bartering (“we traded a torpedo for it”) to turning the ship into Michigan's most haunted Halloween attraction, Bill and his dwindling crew of volunteers have spent over a decade keeping this legend alive—one paintbrush stroke, one ghost story, one overnight scout trip at a time.More than a warship, the USS Edson is now a living monument, a place where memory, education, and community collide—moored just off the Saginaw River.Links:USS Edson Website: https://svnsm.com/USS Edson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ussedsonmuseumSubscribe to our Email Newsletter: https://totalmichigan.com/join/Find us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/totalmichiganWatch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@totalmichigan

The USS Edson is a National Historic Landmark and only one of the two surviving Forrest Sherman-class destroyers.  Since 2012, the USS Edson DD-946 has been docked along the Saginaw River as the Saginaq Valley Naval Ship Museum. It earned it's nickname, The Grey Ghost of The Vietnamese Coast not because it had ghosts aboard and the story is a wonderful one, but these days, there are real ghosts aboard this haunted ship and Bill Randall, a volunteer who has thousands of tours of the ship for many years, can certainly vouch for that and has lots of stories about happenings to him, and others on the ship during paranormal investigations. Listen in and hear about the sailor who took is own life on the ship, and  manysightings of Paul Spampanato, who died of a heart attack suffered aboard the vessel on Thanksgiving in 1999. The USS Edson has lots of stories to tell and Bill Randall is the go-to guy to tell them.

Wintertime trolling for walleye on Saginaw Bay and the Saginaw River is the topic this month with Captain Mark Pieniozek of Reel Fishn. Mark talks about the differences between big water fish and those in the river.  He describes his setup, speed, baits, board configuration and more. Pieniozek then goes on to describe why he runs Tattle Flags on his OR-12 Off Shore boards...even for big fish. He also has great advice on where to find fish in the river, and why trolling can be more effective on big fish than traditional jigging tactics.  

We're talking ice fishing in the second hour this week with Jake Romanack from Fishing 411 TV. Michigan DNR Fisheries Biologist Jeff Jolley is up next. He reminds us the Saginaw River will not close this year to walleye fishing.

Circa late 1800s photo of Pointe aux Barques Light Station, Michigan. U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office. Pointe aux Barques, on Lake Huron at the northeastern tip of the part of Michigan known as “The Thumb,” takes its name from a French phrase meaning “point of little boats.” A dangerous reef extending almost two miles from the point was a hazard to shipping traffic heading north along the Lake Huron shore. The first lighthouse on the point was constructed of stone in 1848, on a three-acre site carved out of dense wilderness. In addition to warning mariners of the reef at Point aux Barques, the light served to guide shipping into Saginaw Bay and the Saginaw River. Marolyn and Larry Becker The original keeper's house was destroyed by fire in 1849. The first tower was poorly built and had to be replaced in 1857. The new keeper's house and attached 89-foot tower were built of the finest brick available. The light remains an active aid to navigation, making Pointe aux Barques one of the oldest continuously operating lights on the Great Lakes. The light was automated in 1934 and the last keeper left five years later. The light station property was transferred to Huron County in 2003. A nonprofit group, the Point aux Barques Lighthouse Society, was formed. Larry Becker is the past president of the Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse Society. His wife Marolyn is a longtime volunteer and membership chair for the Society. Pointe aux Barques Light Station, Michigan. USLHS photo by Chad Kaiser. Listen to the podcast with this player:
