Moiles Mills
Scoundrels is probably the best description that comes to mind in connection with the four Moiles Brothers of Detour Michigan. The brothers, Bart, George, John and James were a group of unsuccessful mill owners in very dire financial straits. Their predicament was so serious that their Chicago creditors saw fit to repossess the brothers' mill and post a guard on site to protect their seized chattel. As far as the Moiles were concerned, it was their mill and it was now or never - they had nothing more to lose.
