His Wilderness Grace Sir Maxwell ‘Copper Range’ Breckinridge stands as provisional governor administering the dense boreal forests, wild rivers and Lake Superior shoreline bounty comprising Houghton County from his fortified timber and stone citadel Fort Raber constructed near the strategic indigenous mining pits along the Keweenaw Peninsula. His family lineage reaches back to the earliest French Jesuits and fur trappers exploring Lake Superior's northern rim in search of precious metals, fisheries and forest stands so expansive the eye struggles to see across sunlit bays. Generations of Breckinridges have since intermarried with the Ojibwe, learning to harvest sustainability and uphold sacred relationships between land and people - both gifts of the Creator's love. From his upper palisade parapet facing Gitche Gumee's fearsome moods and nurturing gifts alike, Sir Maxwell keenly surveys bountiful fishery catches feeding families below while monitoring the era’s political threats looming against the cherished pristine forest sanctuaries supporting diverse wildlife and rare healing plants not yet exploited by industry robber barons. Though lacking blood ties to the decadent French dynasties now banished abroad, the principled Breckinridge family displayed keen stewardship acuity by establishing reliable, ethical commercial partnerships with regional Ojibwe trappers willing to harvest the Northwoods bounty in moderation beneficial for subsistence living but avoiding cutthroat mass extraction that could undermine future generations. Now with dark global commerce clouds gathering across Breckinridge’s beloved horizon promising either fair weather or foul tempest depending upon sustainable values prevailing, noble Sir Maxwell stands fast - upholding his family’s long legacy as trusted ally and counselor to the keepers of old wisdom ways still teaching hungry new settlers to nurture life’s essential balance.
