Who was John Johnston?
John Johnston was a wealthy and successful British fur trader for the North West Company at Sault Ste. Marie before the War of 1812, and a leader in the Michigan Territory. He never became a US citizen. He married Ozhaguscodaywayquay, daughter of Waubojeeg, prominent Ojibwe war chief and civil leader from what is now northern Wisconsin. The Johnstons were leaders in both the Euro-American and Ojibwa communities. His life was markedly disrupted by the War of 1812, and demonstrated the changes of the period.
