The work is important in relating the historical development of typical Michigan cities to the functioning of the state's economy during the late nineteenth century and afterward., A foundation for public understanding of the timber industry and its participants in the building of cities as well as the nation.

Synopsis
Michigan's foremost lumbertowns, flourishing urban industrial centers in the late 19th century, faced economic calamity with the depletion of timber supplies by the end of the century. Turning to their own resources and reflecting individual cultural identities, Saginaw, Bay City, and Muskegon developed dissimilar strategies to sustain their urban industrial status. This study is a comprehensive history of these lumbertowns from their inception as frontier settlements to their emergence as reshaped industrial centers. Primarily an examination of the role of the entrepreneur in urban economic development, Michigan Lumbertowns considers the extent to which the entrepreneurial approach was influenced by each city's cultural-ethnic construct and its social history. More than a narrative history, it is a study of violence, business, and social change., This study is a comprehensive history of these lumbertowns from their inception as frontier settlements to their emergence as reshaped industrial centers.

Seller packaged the books very carefully so they would arrive in great shape. I purchased these to replace some of the cookbooks I had that were water damaged. They were just as described and offered at a very fair price. Seller sent them out immediately at a very fair shipping price also. I was very pleased.
