The story of Mount Pleasant is both familiar and fascinating

Mount Pleasant 1854-1954: A Pictorial History
The story of my hometown of Mount Pleasant, Michigan is a fascinating one. In this book, I utilized images from the collections of the Clarke Historical Library and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe to bear witness to the struggles and triumphs of the first century of Mount Pleasant history. You can find out more about my book or purchase a copy for yourself on Amazon by clicking here.

Those Michigan Governors really had a way with words

Messages of the Governors of Michigan, 1941-1948
The title pretty much says it all. Okay, so it doesn't sound like the most exciting read in the world...but believe me when I say, there's a lot of history in these pages! Governors of that era give A LOT of speeches, and I selected only the best of the best for inclusion in this volume. Re-discover the long-forgotten words of Murray Van Wagoner, Harry Kelly, and Kim Sigler. If you feel like checking out a copy, I'd suggest interlibrary loan, and if you'd like to buy one, you can do so here.
