The author came to Springwells, MI, (near Detroit) as a youth in 1835. He lived in that area, which was rural until about 1880, for fifty years, becoming a very prominent citizen of Detroit. This volume is a collection of essays that he wrote over the years, for the Detroit Scientific Association, State and county pioneer societies, and various newspapers.
