HON. JOSEPH CAMPAU.

MARQUIS JACQUES CAMPAU, father of the late Hon. Joseph Campau, who was so intimately identified with the earlier days of the city of Detroit, was born in that city about the year 1730. This is a date in the history of Detroit surrounded with the greatest ambiguity. No records, either in the English or the French languages, afford any information touching this period, or for several years both preceding and succeeding this date However, an examination of the papers and documents preserved by the descendants of Mr. Jacques Campau discloses many items of history that would have otherwise been lost to all generations. A digest of this collec tion of papers constitutes the following interesting piece of biography and history: The father of Mr. Jacques Campau must have accompanied M. la Motte Cadillac to Detroit in 1701, being one of that original company who left their homes and united their hopes with the sanguine la Motte, to establish an outpost on the Detroit. At this time he was probably not more than fifteen or twenty years of age. He sustained some relations to the court of the commandant, or "Governor of the Post," as he was then called, being originally appointed as Cadillac's private secretary. Mr. Jacques Campau, the father of the Hon. Joseph Campau, distinguished himself in the battle of Abraham's Plains, and attained many honors with General Montcalm at Quebec in 1759.

Mr. Jacques Campau was among the first settlers of the little fort who pushed out beyond its narrow limits to establish an independent home, and the engraving of his house and the little church which he afterwards erected, which is presented here, affords a view of his success. The dwelling represented in the scene was erected on the lot now known as the James Campau farm, being the orignal claim, No. 91. It was built about the year 1757, and was the birth-place of the late Hon. Joseph Campau. It was in this building where Captain Rogers and his patriotic soldiers took refuge while endeavoring to make a retreat after the battle of Bloody Run. He entered it with some of his own men, while many panic-stricken regulars broke in after him in their eagerness to gain a temporary shelter. The house was strong, being the most substantial dwelling in that neighborhood, and the women of the place had crowded into the cellar for refuge. While some of the soldiers looked in great terror for a place of concealment, others seized upon some wine in one of the rooms, and drank it down with eager thirst; while others, again,
