This book gives an account of the Grand Traverse region of Michigan during the Civil War era. Two firsthand accounts guide the narrative: the diary of Reverend George Smith, who came to Michigan in the 1830s and worked on behalf of Native Americans along the east coast of Michigan, and the Grand Traverse Herald, the newspaper founded in 1858 by publisher Morgan Bates.
