Excerpt from Early History of Michigan With Biographies of State Officers: Members of Congress, Judges and Legislators This compilation was commenced by the Semi-Centennial Commission, and has been completed under the direction of Governor Luce, as provided by a law of the session of 1887. Many biographies have been condensed more than was desirable, to bring the volume within reasonable size; others are brief because full data could not be obtained. The other features of the work are brief. Several hundred sketches have not been written, and a full list of these names will be found at the close of the work. Of most no record could be obtained. Of those living many failed to answer letters of inquiry. In other cases promised aid has not been given. Thanks are tendered to those who have taken time and trouble to give information. The compiler is also indebted to county histories, Farmers history of Detroit, and other works for information of value. Most of the Wayne county sketches were furnished by S. B. McCracken. The history is a portion of that written by the compiler for the Michigan census of 1884. The object of the work, to preserve in compact form the record of Statesmen, Judges, and Legislators of Michigan, will be more and more appreciated with the lapse of time. There are errors no doubt, but the information is from the best attainable sources. It is a just tribute by the people of Michigan to the memory of those who, under Territorial and State rule, have made Michigan one of the greatest and best States in the Union.

The History of Michigan Law offers the first serious survey of Michigan's rich legal past. Michigan was among the first states to admit African-Americans and women to its law schools and was the first governmental entity to abolish the death penalty. Additionally, the state, unlike its midwestern neighbors, did not enact racial exclusion laws in the post-Civil War era. Michigan has also played a leading role in developing modern rape laws, in protecting the environment, and in assuring the right to counsel for those accused of crimes. The story of Michigan's legal development includes high profile cases such as the Dr. Ossian Sweet murder trial, the cross-district busing case Milliken v. Bradley, and the affirmative action cases brought against the University of Michigan Law School.The History of Michigan Law documents and analyzes, as well, Michigan legal develpments in environmental history, civil rights, and women's history. This book will serve as the entry point for all future studies that involve the law in Michigan. With 2005 marking the bicentennial of the establishment of the Michigan Supreme Court, as well as the bicentennial of the creation of the Michigan Territory, The History of Michigan Law has appeal beyond the legal community to scholars and students of American history.
