"According to many sources, the total value of the White Pine of Michigan exceeded that of the gold mined in California, a point well discussed by several writers.My use of the title 'White Pine; Michigan's Gold', refers not as much to any monetary similarities of White Pine and gold as it does to the impetus for settlements by those involved in the business of either.As the discovery of gold on the American River in 1847 brought thousands of miners to California, the White Pine lured thousands of lumbermen to Northern Michigan in the mid 1800's.In both cases, new towns would spring up around the men who worked the claims or mills, and the businesses that followed and served to support them. As the gold or timber played out, some of these towns would die, becoming ghost towns, while others would find new reasons to continue and flourish."
