Massie, Larry B. Michigan Memories
Allegan Forest, Mich. Priscilla Press 1994 1886167001 / 9781886167001 First Edition; First Printing Paperback Very Good+ with no dust jacket
Very good, with minimal shelf wear. ; Trade PB; 0.8 x 5.8 x 8.8 inches; 285 pages; In this volume I have assembled a witch's brew of indelible memories: fur traders watching the drama of an Ottawa trial held amid the tawny Grand Haven dunes - colorful voyageurs ladling steaming stew then sleeping beneath overturned birch bark bateaux beside the lapping Great Lakes - the recollections of three centuries of visitor to the fairy isle the Indians called the Great Turtle - corset making women wearily weaving those instruments of torture, foundrymen fashioning stoves that once warmed the nation and patent medicine hucksters compounding alcohol-laden potions - town founders listening for the train whistle that will determine their community's destiny - literary lumberjacks with sawdust in their hair and ink in their veins - Gen. Custer in Monroe, a Scot who saw the Sault in 1854, the saga of the "Sage of East Aurora" and more. I hope you enjoy these true stories of our two peninsulas' past.
