Excerpt from The Grand Traverse Region: A Report on the Geological and Industrial Resources of the Counties of Anthrim, Grand Traverse, Benzie and Leelanaw in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan The following report has been drawn up for the purpose of directing attention to the most remarkable and desirable section of country in the Northwest. Emigrants and capitalists will equally find in it statements of facts which will both surprise and interest them. I have no fear of being charged with overdrawing the picture. I have only given facts, figures and vouchers. They speak for themselves. The details of the geology of the region have never before been worked out, and will prove of interest to a large class of readers.
