Collections and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, Vol. 23 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Collections and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, Vol. 23 That these volumes have been and are very interesting, both to Michigan and Canada, is not surprising, from the fact, it is remem bered, that for a number of years it was uncertain whether Michigan was to be treated as an American or British Province. We certainly were very fortunate in procuring, with very little expense, a large amount of valuable material, at the same time pre serving much matter interesting to history. This is particularly true in regard to Indian Affairs, which would have been entirely lost had it not been printed in the manner the Committee selected.

Historical Collections, Vol. 29


Book Description

Excerpt from Historical Collections, Vol. 29: Collections and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society The labor bestowed on this volume, except the cost of proof-reading, printing and binding, has been wholly a labor of love. More care than usual has been taken in editing the memorial sketches, for the purpose of eliminating inconsequential matter, thereby making the essential facts in the lives of the departed pioneers more prominent, and giving greater space to papers of. General interest. As the years go by the ranks of the pioneers become thinner, and hence this feature of future volumes Iwill occupy fewer pages. While other states of the old northwest are more generous than is Michigan in making provision for obtaining and preserving historical data relating to their early settlement and progress, and while aware that with more money better work could be done, especially in the line of research among ancient records and archives, of the appropriations made by our legislature we do not complain, but will continue to do the best we can with the means placed at our disposal.
