In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville described the Saginaw Valley as the Â"far westÂ" of our growing nation, predicting that its impenetrable forests would soon be felled, and its river would be lined with quays and filled with vessels. Influential settlers soon began to confirm those predictions, including the Trombleys, who arrived in 1831 and built the Trombley House in 1837. Albert Miller platted Portsmouth in 1836Â--and Lower Saginaw, now known as Bay City, was platted the same year. Throughout the 20th century, majestic buildings were erected, schools, homes, and churches were established, and Bay City developed into a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.

yah,
By Twaddler Belafonte (Bay City, Michigan, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bay City (MI) (Then & Now) (Paperback)
Great book with wonderful photos. Only downside is that the photos are soo small. This would have been much, much more enjoyable in a large format.
