He is com-\\ni^ C 1 wolxC I monly spoken of as Chief Petoskey, and many of his descendants still\\nreside in the vicinity. The name, which was Anglicised into Ignatius Petoskey,\\nmeans the break of day, when the sun touches the hill tops. It is very appropriate; for since it was\\nfirst started twenty years ago, Petoskey has always been up and dressed. It is on the G. R. I. road,\\nthirty-five miles south of Mackinaw City, and is the northern terminus of the C. W. M. It is situated\\non the south shore of Little Traverse Bay, a beautiful sheet of water, bounded on the east by a semi-\\ncircle of silvery beach, backed by forest-topped sand dunes, and broadening gradually as its shores sweep\\nwestward some fifteen miles to the open expanse of Lake Michigan.\\nFrom the deck of an approaching steamer the city presents a striking appearance. The arc lights,\\nwhich range from the water s edge to the crests of the encircling hills, two hundred and seventy feet\\nabove, gleam and flash through the darkness a coronet of diamonds on the brow of night and furnish\\na beacon for vessels far out upon the lake. By day one sees the main part of the town spread out upon\\nthe sides of a vast natural amphitheater in such a manner that its broad streets, parks and regular squares\\ncan be traced as though it were a map. As the tourist draws nearer he sees tall spires rising above the\\ntrees, handsome residences occupying every commanding point, and substantial business blocks attesting\\nthe thrift and prosperity of the place.

Its unrivalled attractions and advantages caused it to grow rapidly, and it\\nwas incorporated as a village in 79 and became a city in 95. In the character of its schools and churches\\nand fraternal, social, literary and musical societies, Petoskey is far ahead of most cities of three times its\\nsize.
