Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. This book is composed of three parts: "Part One, The History of Its Land and Institutions; Part Two, Stories written by Local Authors and Story Tellers; Part Three, The Who's Who of Families in the Area." This book clearly represents a tremendous amount of research on this northern Michigan town in Antrim County in northern Michigan. There are many photos, maps, and illustrations throughout the text and a name index in the rear. Bound in the original publisher's blue cloth covers with silver and gilt spine and cover lettering. There is a slight indentation to the top edge of the spine, else this is a nice clean, tight and unmarked book with no interior or exterior markings, no owner names and no bookplates. The dust jacket in similarly nice condition with no chips, tears, or markings with the exception of one tiny tear at the top edge of the jacket at the spine. This research is unlikely to be repeated. ; B&W Illustrations, Photos, Maps; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 464 pages.
