PUBLISHER'S PREFACE


N PLACING Sprague's History of Grand Traverse and Leelanaw Counties, Michigan, before the citizens, the publisher can conscientiously claim that he has carried out in full every promise made in the Prospectus. He points with pride to the elegance of the binding of the volume, and to the beauty of its typography, to the superiority of the paper on which the work is printed, and the truthfulness depicted by its portraits and the high class of art in which they are finished. Every biographical sketch has been submitted for approval and cor- rection, to the person for whom it was written, and therefore any error of fact, if there be any, is solely due to the person for whom the sketch was prepared. The publisher would here avail himself of the opportunity to thank the citizens of Grand Traverse and Leelanaw Counties for the uniform kindness with which they have regarded this undertaking, and for their many services rendered in assisting in the gaining of necessary information.


Confident that our efforts to please will fully meet the approbation of the public, we are,


Respectfully,


B. F. BOWEN, Publisher.


AUTHOR'S PREFACE.


HE OBJECT of the present work is to give as complete and authentic a history of the Grand Traverse region, and especially the counties of Grand Traverse and Leelanaw, as possible, from the earliest settlement down to the present time. Comparatively little attention will be given to the rest of the region except as it comes in incidentally in connection with matters pertaining to these two counties.


The first effort to write up anything like an extended description of the region was performed in 1866, by the late Alexander Winchell, A. M., who, after a very careful exploration of the region, embraced his conclusions in a report of about one hundred printed pages, entitled, "A Report on the Geological and Industrial Re- sources of the Counties of Antrim, Grand Traverse, Benzie and Leelanaw." This report was of great value and assisted greatly in bringing the region to public notice and settlement.


The first effort, however, to compile and place before the public anything like an authentic history of the region was performed by Judge Reuben Hatch, then a resident of Traverse City, now of Grand Rapids. The Judge spent a good deal of time in making careful research and gathering material, which he embodied in a lec- ture which was given to the public in the shape of an address delivered to an audi- ence in Traverse City, July 4, 1876.


The first attempt to write anything like a complete history of the region was made by Dr. M. L. Leach in 1883, and published by Mr. Thomas T. Bates, pro- prietor of the Grand Traverse Herald. This was followed, in 1884, by the publication of "The Grand Traverse Region, Historical and Descriptive," by H. R. Page & Company, of Chicago. This last included the region as far north as the Straits of Mackinaw.


For much of the matter connected with the occupancy of these counties by the Indians and the subsequent work of the early missionaries among them, as well as the early settlement by the whites, the author of the present work wishes to ac- knowledge his indebtedness to the article by Judge Hatch and the history by Dr. Leach.
