Article Below: By 1913 much of the land in Northern Michigan had been logged off by the big logging companies. Rather than paying the taxes on the huge acreage of already logged off land, the logging companies, including Hanson's company, would often give the property back to the state. In this case, it was beneficial for the state to use the site for the Michigan National Guard.
