Michigan Voices: Our State's History in the Words of the People Who Lived It

This book tells the history of Michigan in the words of what some call everyday people. Rather than hearing from the giants of state history, plenty of books do that, you'll hear from the people who, like ourselves, lived, experienced and observed what was going on around them.
Originally published as a series in the Detroit Free Press, Michigan Voices is built on letters, diaries and other contemporary accounts of what was going on at the time.
You'll read the insightful account of a politically active woman who was not allowed to vote at that time, factory workers, young people and travelers. Taken together, these approximately 100 stories and pictures give you a view of history you won't find anywhere else.
