The Marines' invasion of Ann Arbor: Quantico troops on the march -- State Street, November 10, 1923.

"Approaching in a flotilla by way of the Huron River, the troops made landfall in the Nichols Arboretum, where they encountered little opposition from the skunks and raccoons . . . ."

 

No, scratch that:

 

"Arriving on a comfy railroad train at the Michigan Central Depot (now the Gandy Dancer Restaurant), the troops did not stop for lunch, but marched directly up State Street , past the High School, past the Nickels Arcade, past several churches, and here are passing the Michigan Union."
