1956réf. 95056Detroit: Detroit Metropolitan Mutual Assurance Company but copyrighted by Charles C. Diggs Jr. 1956. Very Good. Black and white portrait and description on each month with some red printing. Wall calendar. 49 x 34 cm. Horizontal crease across center. Minor chipping around edges. OCLC locates 1 copy University of Kansas. We know nothing about Detroit Metropolitan Mutual Assurance Company and wonder if it was a mutual burial operation rather than an insurance company selling life or other types of insurance home auto etc. since Diggs and his father were in the funeral home business in addition to their political activities. This calendar has a fact relating to African American history for every day of the year and also has some little known "fact" heading each monthly page.

réf. 63989Detroit: Executive Board of the Michigan Federation of Labor 1916. Octavo. Cloth-backed pictorial boards; 150pp; illus. Covers slightly rubbed with some trivial paper loss at board edges; internally complete clean and unmarked; Very Good. Though the title suggests this was a serial publication we find no evidence that it was produced in any other year. Publication statement on the title page reads: "Issued by the Executive Board in compliance with instructions from the last state convention held at Traverse City." A pictorial and statistical review of industrial activities in the principal municipalities of Michigan focusing of course on Detroit and its burgeoning automotive industry but also including many smaller manufacturing towns such as Muskegon Owosso Ishpeming Ludington etc. Includes a list of local subscribers following each section making us think this was intended as much as a commercial directory as a labor annual. Well-illustrated throughout with photographic text illustrations halftones. Despite commercial production values and a healthy list of subscribers the publication is apparently rare; not previously seen by us and we find no catalogued examples in OCLC. unknown books

1844réf. List3335Kalamazoo Michigan 1844. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 9 ¾ inches. Folded with very small tears at folds; larger tear at seal intersecting with text. Overall excellent to Near Fine. An 1844 letter from a woman who had recently moved to Kalamazoo to a friend in Urbana Ohio. The writer describes Kalamazoo: “It is nearly four months since we bade our sad adieu to Staten Island and our lovely abode & here have we been in the wilds of Michigan some two or three months we remained at Detroit two or three weeks with our youngest brother — the first of June our elder brother David removed to Kalamazoo and it is really a beautiful wonderful place; and of far greater magnitude than I had formed any conception and only ten years ago nothing but the indian war whoop was heard — now it really to a stranger presents almost as bustling an appearance as Detroit; much taste has been evinced by the founders of this magical village of the west; – they have allowed to remain unharmed the splendid forest trees and the whole town presents the aspect of a grove — it is becoming the great thoroughfare to St Josephs & Chicago & St Louis —.” The first white settler within what is now the city of Kalamazoo Titus Bronson arrived in 1829; within ten years Kalamazoo County had several thousand residents. The writer also describes her plans for traveling to New Orleans hoping to avoid the seasickness-inducing “‘big lake’ travelling”. This would have been difficult as plank roads were not laid in the area until the following year and railroads would not reach Kalamazoo until 1846. Of interest to historians of white American settlement of Michigan. unknown books
1851réf. 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. An important example of the sophistication of Christian education in the Old Northwest. Twelve volumes. 40; 32; 32; 36; 34; 36; 38; 32; 34; 40; 40; 32pp. Approximately 54000 words in total. Oblong octavo. Plain paper wrappers handstitched manuscript title on front wrappers. Faint old vertical fold to center of each volume; occasional light soiling and chipping and even tanning to wrappers. Internally quite clean. Very good. In a red and green slipcase. unknown books
