Early Michigan Travel Log Through Isabella County
A travel journal recounts a northern Michigan journey from Saginaw to Clare and Isabella counties. The writer details hardships from horse epidemics, muddy roads, and sparse accommodations, visiting towns like Midland and Salt River, noting emigration, rail prospects, and local commerce as a railroad push looms for Gratiot and Isabella counties. The piece closes with a roster of elected legislators and observations on county development and telegraphed railroad progress.
