A History of Presque Isle

As Told Through Conversation with the Park’S Legendary Hermit, Joe Root

By: Eugene H. Ware

Presque Isle State Park, a peninsula extending seven miles into Lake Erie, attracts four million visitors each year. Since the late 1800s, the park has been an ecological and recreational paradise where visitors can enjoy solitude, reflection, and the wonders of nature. At times strong storms are driven in off of Lake Erie, however, and since 1814, man has been struggling to protect Presque Isle against the forces of nature that constantly cause destruction and erosion on the park. Through extensive research and vintage images gathered from the collections of author Eugene Ware, the Erie County Historical Society, Erie County Public Library, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and various local sources, A History of Presque Isle reflects the history and special aura of the park. It traces the long and rich past of Presque Isle and Erie, Pennsylvania, from the peninsulas formation in the ice ages to the early 1950s. Through a series of conversations with Joe Root, the legendary hermit who lived in the park from approximately 1880 until nearly 1915, as well as his own personal reflections, Ware provides an unforgettable glimpse into the beauty and majesty of Presque Isle, including what it offers visitors today. A History of Presque Isle documents the history and complete story of a Pennsylvania park known for its ghosts, legends, and gift for influencing visitors to this day.

Pennsylvania Lighthouses on Lake Erie

By: Eugene H. Ware

Four lighthouses remain in Pennsylvania, and Lake Erie is home to three. In 1818, Old Presque Isle Light became the first United States lighthouse built on the lake's shore. But a need for even more navigational assistance gave birth to the North Pierhead Lighthouse forty years later. The Presque Isle Light Station first shined on Lake Erie in July 1873. Thanks to the guidance from these landmarks, Erie's port is one of the busiest in the Great Lakes. Author Eugene Ware offers an edifying history of Erie Harbor lights.

Presque Isle State Park

By: Eugene H. Ware

Located on a seven-mile peninsula on the shores of Lake Erie in Erie, Pennsylvania, Presque Isle State Park attracts four million visitors each year. With its designation in 1921, Presque Isle became the second state park in Pennsylvania. From this beginning, the citizens of Erie and surrounding areas developed an affinity and appreciation for the park. Presque Isle has been left relatively unchanged over the years, and when improvements have been made, they have been executed in ways that have not altered the park's natural beauty. Through images gathered from the collections of the author, Erie County Historical Society, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and various other local sources, Presque Isle State Park reflects the history and unique atmosphere of a park that has come to be known as "a place for all seasons.

The Moods of Presque Isle

By: Eugene H. Ware

The Moods of Presque Isle is a book of photography, poetry, and prose which provides a visual treat for your mind and eyes. The poetry and photography blend to produce reflections and emotions within the reader. The setting is an eight mile long sand peninsula jutting out into Lake Erie. Formed over the last thousand years and constantly moving with Lake Erie currents, it is the most visited state park in the Pennsylvania system of parks. It is a haven for natural beauty, birds, animals and rare plants. Presque Isle seems to be one of the places on earth that God paused to create something special. A place where man could stop and reflect on what is right about the world. A place to pause for a moment to drink in the beauty that nature has to offer. It is an enchanting place where colors seem brighter, air softer and where time moves slowly. Presque Isle is one of those places calm enough for you to get quiet inside yourself. A place where solitude and reflection are greater gifts than sun and sand. The subjects of the poems and prose in the book are varied. They run from colors of fall to the tiny kingdom found on the forest floor; from water lilies to the horrors of 9/11; from an approaching storm to a lovers hand and hand walk on the beach. Season, colors, moods, and dreams fill the pages of this book of reflections and life experiences. As you read each poem, you will be able to slow down, take a minute to reflect on the complementary photographs accompanying the words. The theme of the book is the beauty, quiet, and solitude offered by nature. The author believes that if you love nature, nature will open up a whole new world for your enjoyment. The book is an attempt to paint words and photography as one and create a “Mood” with nature for the reader.

Eugene From Eugene to Happy Valley

Eugene Lynn Grant's Autobiography

By: Eugene Grant

This book begins with an account of the author's ancestral roots in Norway, Denmark and Great Britain and ends which his retirement in Happy Valley, Oregon, where he served as its Mayor from 1998 to 2006. His ancestors emigrated to America and fought and died in its wars, pioneered newly acquired territories and states, eventually reaching Eugene, Oregon, for which the author was named. His history includes surviving his oftentimes grim childhood in a dysfunctional family beset with serious domestic abuse and mental illness. The author describes his joy of discovering the stories of his ancestors' triumphs and tragedies. Their stories have all the drama of murder, suicide, war, crime, persecution, poverty, addiction, illicit affairs, abandonment, arson, insanity, domestic abuse, and other tragedies but also many triumphs. The sublime and spiritual contrasts with the carnal and depraved. It includes the sad story of the expanding frontier experience of American pioneers displacing native Americans and enslaving Blacks. The heart of this book is the creation of the author's immediate family and struggling to be successful as a prominent Oregon lawyer, local politician, local Mormon religious leader, and most importantly a father and husband. In part this is a religious autobiography. It is like biblical stories, an accounting and evaluation of being in the World but not of the World, an acknowledgement of how he has seen God's hand in the details of his life, the story of his religious conversion and path of discipleship through this veil of tears, seeking salvation. His story, therefore, ends with his evaluation, for the reader's benefit, of his lessons learned. His hope is that these lessons will help the reader appreciate his perspective and hopefully avoid his mistakes not the least of which were his conflicts, especially with political and religious extremists who increasingly bedeviled him during the highly polarized first two decades of the 21st century. This is also his intellectual and political autobiography. His faith was not one of withdrawal from the world into monastic simplicity, but rather one of enthusiastically engaging a complex world by gaining a higher education and using his knowledge and values to help the City of Happy Valley become a thriving and attractive community for likeminded families. It includes the story of how he led Happy in becoming Oregon's fastest growing city. It is also the story of his interaction with the leaders of Clackamas County and all its cities, including both allies and opponents. Lastly, this book includes the story of his legal career. He was fortunate to play a significant role in two leading law firms and his 40-year career helped shape the built environment of the City of Portland, the Metro Region, and the State of Oregon. He worked with many prominent and interesting Oregonians in the process. His legal career was completed by serving for almost two years as a senior legal missionary for his church in the Pacific Area including Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific islands.
