"When I speak of home, I speak of a place where-in default of a better-those I love are gathered together;and if that place were a gypsy's tent, or a barn, I should call it by the same good name notwithstanding." ~ Charles Dickens

TAHQUAMENON FALLS - a favorite place of peacefulness and beauty in Upper Michigan
This is the "rushing tahquamenaw" of Henry Longfellow's poem Hiawatha, from its copper speckled bed, the Indians gave it their name from the dark waters.
Song of Hiawatha
Give me of your bark, O Birch-tree! Of your yellow bark, O Birch-tree! Growing by the rushing river, Tall and stately in the valley I a light canoe will build me, Build a swift Cheemaun for sailing, ........... Thus aloud cried Hiawatha In the solitary forest, By the rushing Taquamenaw, When the birds were singing gayly, In the Moon of Leaves were singing, And the sun, from sleep awaking, Started up and said, "Behold me Gheezis, the great Sun, behold me.
W.W. Longfellow
