Out of the Wilderness is the story of a Michigan farming town so small it does not appear on most maps. Driving through the crossroads with its lonely stone church and wooden hall you would think, 'Nothing much has ever happened here.' In that, you would be mistaken. Not only is the story of this small, tenacious community filled with unexpected drama, but there is the sense that one is reading a cultural, social and political history of the United States in microcosm. From Indian tribes to French explorers and fur traders, loggers and settlers, the dramatic impact of the Civil War, the First and Second World Wars, the Great Depression, and the changing landscape of rural America, the story of Sitka has it all.
