The Berlin Area Historical Society is pleased to announce the publishing of the book "The Story of the Mascoutin Indians and of their Massacre" written by E.L. Runals in the late 1800's. Taken from his original manuscript.
E. Runals was a 19th century lawyer that researched the original French fort commander's documents and those of noted explorers and missionaries to arrive at his conclusions about the 1712 massacre of the Mascoutin and Fox Indians at Fort Detroit. The Berlin area was home to the Mascoutins for over 90 years.
The price of the book is $10.00 with a $2.50 shipping and handling fee.The Society plans to erect a monument to this lost tribe with the proceeds from this book
