	Seeing The Light - Bois Blanc Island Lighthouse
		Bois Blanc is French for "white wood" and was likely named by the early French Voyageurs for the towering forest of white pine and basswood which blankets the high ground at the island’s center.
		For years, Bois Blanc served as the primary source of lumber for the settlers on nearby Mackinac Island, who also planted apple trees and potatoes on the island to supplant their diet of whitefish, pulled from the fecund waters of the Straits.
		To this end, a work crew arrived on the island in 1904 and extended the landing on the south side of the peninsula by 64 feet to allow deeper draft vessels to load with gravel, and erected a temporary dwelling for the crew during their stay on the island.

	The Odessa File: Features of Schuyler County
		Bois Blanc is still -- at this writing in the year 2000 -- a remote, largely ignored island, and its roads reflect it: none are paved, some are extremely narrow, and all create swirling, clinging dust.
		Even six-plus decades after the fact (or fiction) of Dillinger's Bois Blanc stay, and despite his widely reported subsequent shooting death at the hand of federal agents in Chicago, the residents' attitude might reflect their long-held belief that their business is their business; and so, they might reason still, Dillinger's business was Dillinger's business.
		There is, in the Historical Society Museum and Bois Blanc library -- a joint operation in the former Department of Natural Resources building along the main road in the Island community of Pointe aux Pins (or The Pines) -- a collection of tape recordings of Island old-timers recounting their many decades on Bois Blanc.
