An historical article based upon travelling to Michigan in 1846 found in Michigan History, Volume 5 gave advice to subsequent travelers:
"Bring dry yeast -- you can't get it on the road... ."
There was also a description of the "mint industry" found along the way: "In Florence they raise mint, each farmer stills his own oil and sells it to New York agents."

Love articles like this.
Thanks, Carol. Don't you just love that Michigan was the "west" back then!
