Subject: RE: DTStudy: The Bigler's Crew (Bigler's Cruise?)
Other corrections to DT version:
Chorus, line 3- seen 'er howling (nut us).
Verse 6, line 1- False Presque Isle light (not Presque Isle).
Verse 7, line 1- Michigan's east shore (not north- that would have been impossible).
Verse 8- Flats (should be caps; this is the St. Clair Flats.
Verse 10 - We made the Eau (not Oh. The town of Rondeau is meant.)
Verse 11 - Riggs Elevator should be Rood and Smith's Elevator. Obviously hauling grain this trip.

Verse 3 of Trueblood version- lee, not lea.
Verse 4 - Pointe, not Point.

Canadians get confused by reference to Thunder Bay. The one in Michigan is meant, not the Canadian city on Lake Superior.
