The village of Paw Paw is located in Van Buren County, and is has some interesting history. I was able to uncover a collection of stories from the early days of the founding of the village that are great tales from yesterday. One story of a man who named nine pairs of oxen, and cleared wooded acreage for many new pioneer settlers. Another of a man who visited the home of an Indian trading partner, and ate his meal with dogs. Another of a the first great Paw Paw bank robbery, where the famous Pinkerton Detective agency from Chicago was brought in undercover to solve the crime. These and many other peculiar and tantilizing stories from early Michigan history are in this episode.
