[Clarke Historical Library] CLARKE SPEAKER SERIES -Virtual Event- [https://cdn.cmich.edu/library/Clarke/Listserv/Prichard.jpeg] Carson Prichard Ph.D. 2018, Earth and Ecosystem Science, CMU The Salmon Capital of Michigan: The Rise and Fall of a Great Lakes Fishery In his recent book, The Salmon Capital of Michigan: The Rise and Fall of a Great Lakes Fishery, Carson Prichard documents the experiences of the townspeople of Rogers City through the boom and bust years of the Chinook salmon fishery in Lake Huron. In his talk, he will relate the story of what led him to write the book and the experience of visiting the beautiful and remote Rogers City. To help the locals tell their story, he will feature excerpts from the recorded interviews he conducted. Here's an excerpt from the book: "Port Sanilac's population according to the 2020 census was 567. Harrisville's was 437. Oscoda's was 916. For a hundred boats to descend on such places any given weekend, July through September, would have been-what, exactly? A calamity? A bonanza? Dangerous? Exciting? And for whom? At the very least, it would have been impossible to ignore. For these modest places and the people who lived there, what did it feel like to experience the buildup of the Lake Huron Chinook salmon fishery, and then its crash?" With respect to Rogers City, Prichard's book presents an answer.
