Anna Elisabeth Hartwick
Anna Elisabeth Hartwick (1796–1882) was a Swedish lace industrialist. She lived in Vadstena, which had a long history of professional lace making. In the 18th century, individual makers of bobbin lace sold their works to peddlers, but in the 19th century, this small-scale industry developed in to a larger industry dominated by Anna Elisabeth Hartwick and her main rival Catharina Lidman (1792–1856). Hartwick bought up lace from many of the lace makers of Vadstena and had them sold through her shop and through salespersons employed by her throughout the nation. Through her employee Catharina Andersdotter, she sold lace to the queen, Louise of the Netherlands, and the Swedish court.

Background Hartwick was a native of the dukedom of Saxe-Gotha in the province of Thuringia in Germany and studied at the University of Halle. He was educated in the Lutheran Pietism movement. Hartwick emigrated to America in 1746 to serve as a missionary to the German settlers in and around Rhinebeck in New York’s Hudson Valley. He was an eccentric idealist and intolerant of parishioner's vices, requiring them to sign a promise that they would ''"forswear shooting, horse-racing, boozing, and dancing."'' He was forcefully removed from his first parish by fellow ministers of the area, and from there moved around the northern colonies, unable to find a congregation that would put up with his pious intolerance. New Jerusalem Hartwick felt that allowing common persons to own land and live far from one another was the cause of their ...

He bought the area (the Hartwick Patent, granted 1761) that now constitutes the township from the Mohawk Indians in 1763. Discontented with the sparsely settled communities of Palatine Germans in the Mohawk Valley to the north, which Hartwick believed made people immoral, he bought the original Hartwick Patent with the intent to build a "New Jerusalem".

Hartwick Pines State Park
Hartwick Pines State Park is a public recreation area covering in Crawford County near Grayling and Interstate 75 on the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. The state park contains an old-growth forest of white pines and red pines, known as the Hartwick Pines. It is claimed by the Michigan Department of Natural resources that this old growth area, along with the Red Pine Natural Area Preserve in Roscommon County resembles the appearance of all Northern Michigan prior to the logging era. These areas do, however, lack the reoccurring low intensity fires which once occurred throughout northern Michigan, impacting regeneration of red pine and eastern hemlock, as well as leading to an increased content of hardwood species such as sugar maple and beech. History The Hartwick Pines are a old-growth remnant of a pine grove that was withdrawn from logging by a local timbering firm in 1927—a time when very little old-growth pine remained in northern Michigan.
