Gray used this incident as the introduction and centerpiece of an article that was published in 1994 in the Michigan Historical Review. It’s titled “Limits and possibilities: White-Indian relations in western Michigan in the era of removal.” I just now pulled it out of my files and re-read it. I am finding it even more useful than I had remembered. She cites some references I need to check out, including some that may be give me more information about the Ottawa leader Noonday and the Slater mission that I blogged about here in an article titled “Theology of the Grave“.
