Michigan By. H. G. Wells
I have spoken a word of the resources of Michigan. One skilled in words, without any play of the imagination, might talk an entire day of the resources of this goodly county of Ingham, of what has been developed within its limits by an intelligent and industrious people; and yet it constitutes but a small portion of this entire State. But we are not here for the purpose of making an estimate of the aggregate resources of a county or the entire State, or of rearing a column of figures to exhibit how much of our own products we have consumed, or how much we have exported; we have come up to the capital city of our State for the purpose of getting in some facts in reference to men among whom we have lived, who we have had the opportunity to observe and know, so that these facts may be used by the future historian of Michigan. It has been said that the best way to learn history is by the biography of its leading men. Unless the names, the actions and characteristics of the men now dead, but who were in part the pioneers of Michigan, are put in record form by their surviving associates,
