General interest. As the years go by the ranks of the pioneers become thinner, and hence this feature of future volumes Iwill occupy fewer pages. While other states of the old northwest are more generous than is Michigan in making provision for obtaining and preserving historical data relating to their early settlement and progress, and while aware that with more money better work could be done, especially in the line of research among ancient records and archives, of the appropriations made by our legislature we do not complain, but will continue to do the best we can with the means placed at our disposal.
