Lewis C. Reimann
Lewis Charles Reimann (1890 - August 20, 1961) was an American author, camp operator, politician and football player. A native of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Reimann played college football for the Michigan Wolverines in 1914 and 1915. He founded the University of Michigan Fresh Air Camp for underprivileged boys in 1921. Six years later, in 1927, he founded Camp Charlevoix which he operated until 1948. In the 1950s, Reimann wrote several books on the history of the Upper Peninsula and the Gogebic Range. He also ran unsuccessfully as a Democratic Party candidate for the office of Mayor of Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1951, and for a seat in the Michigan State Senate in 1954. Reimann, a descendant of German immigrants, grew up surrounded by the lumber and mining booms in the Iron River district, and played football at Iron River High School (now consolidated with Stambaugh High School as West Iron County High School). He graduated from the University of Michigan as part of the Literary Class of 1916. He married Pearle Shewell on June 2, 1917, in Genoa, Ohio. His first book, Between the Iron and the Pine: A Biography of a Pioneer Family and a Pioneer Town was published in 1951 to great success and was followed up with several other books on the region’s history, including When Pine Was King (1952), Incredible Seney (1953), Hurley—Still No Angel (1954), and The Game Warden and the Poachers (1959). He died at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1961 at age 70. He was posthumously inducted into the Upper Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.
