Summary
The November 1989 Beaver Beacon published Clare Adkins’s “Lake Michigan’s Island Mystique,” a feature placing High Island within the Little Beaver Islands and recounting its late-nineteenth-century logging and later House of David colony. The article says the House of David purchased roughly ninety percent of High Island and its old sawmill in 1912, and that the colony had declined by the 1920s.
