Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Michigan The twofold phase of our government, state and federal, is familiar to us all. The desirability of a knowledge of the principles and institutions of state concern, as distinguished from those of a national character, is now quite generally admitted. Indeed, it is thought that a familiarity with the institutions common to our townships, counties, and the state, should precede the study of the more distant and complex institutions of the general government. It is like wise generally believed that in the study of history the analogy holds true, and that the youth, before he is required to learn and comprehend the great national and world wide movements of history, should be told the story of his own state. One of the essential equipments for good citizenship is a knowledge of that noble band of men and women who, as pioneers, felled the forests, made the homesteads, organ ized the townships and the counties, and laid the foundations of the commonwealth. With a thorough knowledge of the history of the state and the principles of its government, the youth is at least equipped to discharge intelligently those civic duties with which he is most intimately connected, while a desire for a knowledge of history and government in their higher and broader relations is also fostered. It is to fulfill this mission in Michigan that this little book has been prepared. It is dedicated to the boys and girls of Michigan, as it was inspired by the belief that their lives would reflect a higher standard of civic virtue if lived with an intimate acquaintance with those patriots and statesmen whose efforts have made for the state an honorable fame.

Download or read book History of the University of Michigan Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth M. Farrand and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the University of Michigan This book has been written for those who have been, or are, or shall be connected with the University of Michigan. The attempt has been made to collect from many documents into one volume the story of the University, to put into a convenient and accessible shape what has been already written, and to gather also something from its traditional history, placing upon record what has hitherto remained only in memories which are now fast fading. It is greatly to be regretted that the men who were students of the University in its early days have given us no reminiscences of their college life, of its duties, its customs, its hardships, and its pleasures so different from those of modern college life. The author of this book is much indebted to some of the early graduates, and especially to Dr. George Pray, of the class of 1845, for assistance rendered; from them alone has it been possible to gather any knowledge of the customs of their time. By them alone, however, can the subject be adequately treated. The suggestion is offered that the classes which left the institution before the days of college papers and of class histories, should each have its historian, and that a determined effort should be made to collect reminiscences of college life in Ann Arbor. The University is not too young to number among her children, white-haired men. Many of the instructors and many of the students, who taught and studied here in the days when the number of instructors and students was very small, are silenced by death. Yet in 1884 no class fails to respond to the roll-call. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Township and Village of Howell, Michigan The son of pioneers of Howell, my first recollections were associated with early days here. These pioneers are gone. Only a few remain, last leaves clinging to the tree of life. With their departure go the stories of their lives, the foundation period of our local history. More than twenty years ago when the writer was publishing the Livingston Herald, I conceived the idea of publishing a history of Howell and had the work well under way when that paper was sold. The fire soon after burned up all but one copy. Nearly four years ago the present work was commenced, the matter running in the Livingston Tidings as fast as prepared. Every possible effort has been made to verify the facts and details, but some errors have crept in. The work of time too, has made some changes in the four years since the first chapters were printed. We believe however that the subject matter is nearly all correct history. It has been an honest effort to preserve that which would otherwise have been lost. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Michigan One early June day some fourscore years ago, it was 1837 to be precise, a party of distinguished visitors arrived in what was then the little backwoods community of Ann Arbor. The interest of the loiterers at the country tavern and the corner grocery was no doubt aroused by their com ing, for Ann Arbor we may suppose was not different from other small places; and this curiosity could hardly have been lessened by the fact that the newcomers were all men who figured prominently in the affairs of the State, which had been admitted to the Union only four months before. Whatever the speculation aroused by the personnel of the party, however, the business that called them to Ann Arbor caused little comment, if we are to judge from contemporary reports. Yet this unpretentious gathering of notables was charged with the inauguration of what was to become one of the most significant developments in the history of American education, - the establishment and successful maintenance of a University by the people of a State.
