Lake is a large island, wooded to
Its very shore. On it are a few
apple trees, "old and gnarled,"
remnants of an orchard planted
so long ago that the Indians even
have no date concerning it. Its
name, "Me-nah-sa-gor-ing," mean-
ing "Apple Place," still lives in
tradition. On this island the Al-
gonquin chief, Pontiac, had his
lodge after his repulse at the
siege of Detroit. On the high bank
of this lake, opposite the island, is
still to be seen the ancient burial
ground of the Sacs, Hurons and
Wyandots.
Traditions say that back beyond
the memory of the tribe, a young
chief sickened and suddenly died.
The maiden to whom he was be-
trothed became insane, and when-
ever she could escape from her
guardians, would take the body
of the chief from its resting place
in the old ground across the lake,
and carry it back where the lodge
formerly stood.
At last, weary of guarding her,
with the advice of their medicine
man, the tribe killed her, upon her
refusal to marry. This crime, so
directly opposed to all former In-
dian custom, so offended the Great
Spirit that Le avowed his intention
