1851rif. 56798Marquette Mi. 1851-1852. Original Manuscript Lectures on the Apostolic Creed by a Michigan Minister A working manuscript draft of an in-depth series of catechetical lectures explicating the Apostles' Creed for new believers by an unidentified Episcopal minister likely in the Upper Midwest. The denomination was determined by the author's references to the Articles of Religion and the writings of contemporary Episcopal bishops. Each volume was bound as a pamphlet presumably by the author each with a manuscript title and description of the part of the Creed to be discussed on the front wrapper. The hand is clear and the text is heavily annotated with numerous corrections and edits as well as parts of or even whole pages pasted over with new text. It is very reasonable to assume these lectures were compiled by the rector or a senior lay person at the church for a confirmation class or adult education program; the language would demand at least an adolescent's comprehension level. This draft does not appear to have ever been published. Although the author never signs their name the end of each volume is dated starting with November 30 1851 in volume one and ending with May 16 1852 in volume twelve. Most volumes have the location of "Marquette" added next to the date. Although not identified explicitly this is possibly Marquette Michigan founded in conjunction with Marquette Iron Company activity in the region. Episcopalian settlers there began holding services aboard the steamship Planet in Marquette Harbor on Lake Superior in the 1840s. St. Paul's Episcopal Church was founded soon after though construction on the church itself was not completed until 1857. The Episcopal Diocese of Michigan was organized in 1832 and grew rapidly. In the 1840s and 1850s there were a number of missions to the lumber regions of the Saginaw Valley and the mining regions of the Upper Peninsula; by 1895 the Upper Peninsula became the Diocese of Marquette later renamed Diocese of Northern Michigan.

Lester James Maitland February 8 1899 - March 27 1990 was an aviation pioneer and career officer in the United States Army Air Forces and its predecessors. Maitland began his career as a Reserve pilot in the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and rose to brigadier general in the Michigan Air National Guard following World War II. In 1927 Maitland and Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger completed the first transpacific flight from California to Hawaii flying the modified transport Bird of Paradise. Although the recognition accorded them was less in comparison with the adulation given Charles Lindbergh for his transatlantic flight only five weeks earlier Maitland and Hegenberger's feat was arguably more significant from a navigational standpoint. Maitland continued his career in the Air Corps serving in combat as a bombardment group commander during World War II. He later became the first director of the Wisconsin Aeronautics Commission and the Director of Civil Defense for the state of Michigan. Michigan Office of Civil Defense unknown
