Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Michigan Historical Collections, Vol. 39 This volume of the Collections consists of papers rend at meetings of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society, together with valuable historical materials collected during severe 1 years. In the reports of the meetings of the Michigan Historical Commission and of the Society may be traced the creation of a Stale Department for the preservation of archives, historical documents and mementoes of the State and its various subdivisions. The story of this movement and of the relations between the Commission and the Society are given with some detail, because it will come to form a chapter in the history of the State, the importance of which the future will show. The paper Patrick Sinclair by Mr. William L. Jenks is n valuable contribution to the history of St. Clair County and the Island of Mackinac; it deals with the period of English dominion in the Northwest, and elucidates many interesting points relative to the early commercial navigation of the Great Lakes. Into it have gone much patient research among original documents and a thorough understanding of the importance historically of the events narrated. Miss Edna M. Twamley´s study of the western sketches of Mrs. Kirkland was prepared as a thesis in connection with work for the degree of master of arts in Columbia University, New York City. Mrs. Kirkland ranks among the comparatively small number of authors whose writings have a value in tracing the literary growth of this country; and in so far as they deal with pioneer conditions in Michigan they present pictures of life during the period of settlement unsurpassed for vividness and accuracy. They are en¬livened by the unfailing good humor that carried the pioneers through difficulties which, lacking this saving grace, must have proved unsurmountable. The Historical Commission has secured a number of such theses, prepared under competent direction, both historical and literary; and from time to time will publish them in a new series to be known as "The University Series." The paper on Dr. Douglass Houghton by Roland C. Allen, Michigan State Geologist, is a step in the direction of a more adequate presentation of the work of this eminent geologist than has yet appeared in the Collections.
