☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Fr. Jacques Marquette" delivers a quiet, character-driven moment in a 1957 issue of Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact, spotlighting the Jannis family’s ski trip to Skyline Lodge and the small but meaningful tension that arises when Mike Kelly brings his ham radio along—unaware of his host’s strong feelings about the device. Written by Max Pine and illustrated by Frank Borth, with a cover by Graham Hunter, the story captures a slice of mid-century American life with warmth and subtle drama.
When the Jannis family heads to Skyline Lodge for a ski trip, Mike Kelly brings his ham radio along, hoping to share his passion with the group—only to discover that Dad Jannis isn’t a fan of the hobby. As the winter adventure unfolds, the crackle of the radio becomes an unexpected thread in a story where family, curiosity, and quiet tensions begin to weave together.
Father Jacques Marquette arrives in Sault Sainte Marie in 1668, dedicating his life to serving the Indigenous communities across Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Through quiet determination and deep compassion, he journeys among them, sharing faith and building bridges in the wilderness.
Millie and Scotty duck under tarps in the back of Fuzzy’s wagon, hiding from sight as Fuzzy unknowingly drives straight into a trap. Bull and his men lie in wait, ready to strike — but the real danger might not be what’s ahead, but what’s already hidden in the wagon.
