Michigan Historical Collections, Volume 2


Read by Ted Lienhart

The Michigan Historical Society solicited accounts by Michigan pioneers about the early settlement of various locations, or early development of institutions in Michigan. Many of these accounts were read to members of the society in the 1870s at its regular meetings or at local pioneer organization meetings. This audiobook version includes only those articles from Volume 2 that were judged to contain content of broad interest in the 21st century. - Summary by Ted Lienhart (14 hr 13 min)
