Caseville News, 1874

Caseville, Michigan 1874Lumber is king, and there are jobs for everyone, but the only way to travel is by horse, on the stagecoach, or across Lake Huron. Business owners are expanding, and wages are now higher than in Detroit, so young men want to be lumberjacks and old men want to be merchants and farmers. Young Albert Quinn, having worked in the printing business since he was sixteen, is encouraged to join forces with young Thomas B. Waterworth, a merchant, politician, and real estate broker who suggests starting a newspaper. Their partnership result is a four page politically laced newspaper that reads like a soap opera. The story is one being lived throughout Michigan. But you can read about it in the Caseville Advertiser. And now, that newspaper is a book. All the news about the village and her neighbors, just like the original, but with just the local articles. You will come to love the people and the faith they hold in their hearts.
