The club’s first meeting will focus on Michigan women in the U.S. Lighthouse Service with Patricia Majher’s Ladies of the Lights. On April 16, readers will learn about Marquette’s famous Ojibwe leader with Kawbawgam: The Chief, The Legend, The Man by Tyler R. Tichelaar.. On June 25, we’ll explore the lives of Ishpeming and Gwinn’s Gossard Girls through Phyllis Wong’s We Kept Our Towns Going.
