Pioneer Collections, Vol. 9: Report of the Pioneer and Historical Society of the State of Michigan; Together With Reports of Country, Town, and District Pioneer Socities (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Pioneer Collections, Vol. 9: Report of the Pioneer and Historical Society of the State of Michigan; Together With Reports of Country, Town, and District Pioneer Socities With renewed confidence in the great value of the work being done by the Pioneer and Historical Society of the State of Michigan, the Committee of Historians submit the ninth volume of Pioneer Collections to the public, believing that it will not be found inferior in interest and information to any that has gone before. Within the pages of the several volumes of these Collections is contained the recital of many matters of important interest to all who may wish to know the full history of the country now composing the State of Michigan. Not that these volumes form a history in itself, but rather, that they are collections of sketches, statements, papers and documents, written by the actual participants in the scenes described, and which must prove of inestimable value to him who shall hereafter write The History of Michigan. While, with commendable liberality and enterprise, the Legislature provided for the appropriate celebration of this the Fiftieth Year of Michigan as a State, and the commission having that celebration in charge arranged an interesting programme of able historical papers concerning every important interest connected with the growth and development of the State, yet it must be borne in mind that in the short space of but one day comparatively few and brief could be the papers presented. To the Pioneer and Historical Society, therefore, necessarily remains the work of collecting and rescuing from decay and oblivion the many important matters which have hitherto escaped preservation or attention, but which must combine to make our history correct and complete. Again, Michigan's history is not embraced within the short period of fifty years but extends backward for more than two centuries, and to gather and preserve any and everything that will give light to the unwritten history of those years is one of the chief objects of this Society. Since the publication of the eighth volume, we have extended our researches beyond our own State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
