Saginaw boasts a rich and colorful history. After the early explorers and small Native American villages came the lumbermen, shanty boys, and a bustling commercial center. Later the coal, salt, and sugar beet industries replaced lumbering in the economy. Many of Saginaw�s businesses were known worldwide and are still important after more than 100 years. Saginaw was home to a bevy of famous and infamous characters. Among the early ruffians were Fabian Fournier (Saginaw�s Paul Bunyan), Silver Jack Driscoll, and the Opera House Rogue, Warren Bordwell. Saginaw�s more illustrious residents include �King Clothier,� Little Jake Seligman, educator Alice Freeman Palmer, boxer George �Kid� Lavigne, and many others. Many of the postcards in this book represent the businesses and personalities that made Saginaw�s distinctive character what it is today.
