Read a excerpt review of Chippewa Lake: A Community in Search of an Identity
“… Chippewa Lake: A Community in Search of an Identity” [is] one of those books that teach me how little I know about the people, places and things about which I think I know so much…….
Hull’s look at Chippewa Township through the eye of an anthropologist raises questions. Not only local, but as she notes, “ … these questions are just the beginning as they force us to ask more difficult questions pertaining to the future of all rural communities.”
Frankly, I was expecting just another book filled with cute anecdotes, and even cuter historical remembrances. That’s not what is offered here, although there is no lack of great local tale-telling, reminiscences and recollections…
Hull takes readers through the whole range of Chippewa Township history, from Native American residents to the first white settlers and generations of those who followed…
Hull discusses the virtual death of small farm agriculture in Chippewa Township and the impact of nearby cities on the social structure of the lakeside village and extended community…She looks closely at social mores – such as the impact gossip has on a small, predominantly rural community and its importance in keeping folks in order.
The author spends considerable time considering her township as a community in transition, and discusses how residents are dealing with the change. She also discusses the impact newcomers have had, and are having, on the “old” Chippewa Lake community.
This book is a great read – especially for anyone living in, around or regularly passing through Chippewa Township. But not only so. Much of what Hull discusses is characteristically true to any rural community in these United States.” (270)
