Summary
This volume is a collection of several different kinds of important historical documents published by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society. It opens with a presidential address and other reports, memorials, personal reminiscences, and local history papers delivered at the Society's annual meeting in 1885. Numerous copies and translations of historical documents follow, divided into "leading papers" and "miscellaneous documents." Highlights include a translation of the "Pontiac Manuscript" (a first-hand, knowledgeable narrative of Pontiac's Rebellion conjectured to have been the work of a French priest), which is supplemented by other eyewitness accounts and letters. Some of the other articles discuss Canadian sources for researching Michigan history, Father Marquette and other early Jesuit missionaries in the region, a plot to transfer Michigan's lower peninsula to British ownership (1795), and early settlements in Detroit and its environs by the French and others. The documents include reports of Indian unrest, tax lists, deeds, bills and receipts, town site plans, military expeditions, and an "Address of the Chiefs of the Chippewa Nation." An index appears at the end of the volume.
