Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...him: "Mr. Thomas has been a member of our Bar for a number of years; is a lawyer of high standing and a man of excellent character and reputation." Daniel E. Thomas died May 6, 1896. He was stricken with paralysis February 28. After a few weeks, brain trouble developed and he grew rapidly worse, dying after an illness of nine weeks, in the prime of life. The following is quoted from a memorial prepared and adopted by the Toledo Bar Association: "His high ideals and unswerving integrity together with his feeling of loyalty and patriotism made him one of the very best of citizens. He was liberal to a fault, both with his time and his not over-abundant means. The needs of his unfortunate fellows and the affairs of his community, his city and his church appealed to him with a force that the majority of men know nothing of. It has been noted and commented upon that the present extraordinary good criminal record of St. Joseph county, Michigan, began with the conscientious and skillful official work of Daniel E. Thomas as its prosecuting attorney. In time his practice became one of the most desirable in his county. His Michigan Supreme Court cases form two full bound volumes, and several of his cases have made the law of the State of Michigan as to the points involved. Though in his later years he had given some special attention to patent law, yet in variety of information and all-around ability as a lawyer he had few equals. As counsel he was safe, for in addition to his legal ability he was possessed of unusual good judgment and be. was conscientious at all times and in all things.

Unlike most books about the Civil War, which address individual battles or the war at the national level, States at War: A Reference Guide for Michigan in the Civil War chronicles the actions of an individual state government and its citizenry coping with the War and its ramifications, from transformed race relations and gender roles, to the suspension of habeas corpus, to the deaths of over 10,000 Michigan fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers who had been in action. The book compiles primary source material—including official reports, legislative journals, executive speeches, special orders, and regional newspapers—to provide an exhaustive record of the important roles Michigan and Michiganders had in the War. Though not burdened by marching armies or military occupation like some states to the southeast, Michigan nevertheless had a fascinating Civil War experience that was filled with acute economic anxieties, intense political divisions, and vital contributions on the battlefield. This comprehensive volume will be the essential starting point for all future research into Michigan’s Civil War-era history.

This second edition of the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Reference Guide contains the biographies of Michigan Supreme Court's justices from its territorial beginnings in 1803 through 2015. It includes summaries of twenty top cases of the Michigan Supreme Court, which contextualize the eras in which the justices were on the bench, giving a greater depth of understanding to both who the justices were and the historical significance of the cases they decided. A rich reference for historians and attorneys, this book also includes valuable charts detailing election dates and candidates as well as court compositions (who served with whom); lists of chief justices and the ten longest--and shortest--serving justices with dates of service; and a history of the structural evolution of the Michigan Supreme Court.

With vivid battlefield accounts based on extensive primary research, award-winning author Jack Dempsey's masterful biography tells the amazing story of an unsung hero. Detroit's Alpheus Starkey Williams never tired in service to his city or his country. A veteran of the Mexican-American War, he was a preeminent military figure in Michigan before the Civil War. He was key to the Lost Order, the Battle of Gettysburg, the March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign. His generalship at Antietam made possible the Emancipation Proclamation, and Meade and Sherman relied on his unshakable leadership. A steady hand in wartime and in peacetime, Williams was a Yale graduate, lawyer, judge, editor, municipal official, militia officer, diplomat and congressman who stood on principle over party.
