Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Collections, Vol. 30: Collections and Researches Made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society The present volume, 30, of the publications of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society takes the place of the original number left for general index, and is made up of papers read at the annual meetings of the Society in 1903 and 1904. The delay in printing of these has been occasioned by the presentation in consecutive form of the valuable Cadillac papers contained in volumes 33 and 34. It was deemed best by the officers of the Society to have the important original documents relating to the earliest settlements in Michigan, and to the founding of Detroit more than two centuries ago, prepared and published complete before printing the more miscellaneous matter now offered. Volume 31 contains the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Society for the year 1901, and each subsequent volume the report for that year. This book, therefore, has no such details or necrological record as it was not printed until after the four succeeding volumes. It would have been unwise to omit this number entirely, and no better use could have been made of the material thus accumulated. With this explanation the apparent discrepancy of presenting papers that were prepared and read after the year naturally indicated by the number of the volume in which they appear is made plain. The forty-four separate articles in this book, on a great variety of topics, are of more than ordinary historical and pioneer interest and value. At the beginning, we have The Boundaries of Michigan, by Prof. Claude S. Larzelere, illustrated by nine maps which show the changes made and proposed, and is of permanent value. The references given indicate thorough research and competent work. George H. Cannon gives another phase of Michigan´s Boundaries with Wisconsin. As we read about them we wonder how it happened that anything was left to the State after slicing off great tracts of land on the south and west. Leaves from an Old Time Journal from a chainman with the surveying party on the Wisconsin border continues the same subject.
