About This Item

Large Vintage Softcover, First Edition Signed by the Author 1981 Printer's Devils Press Tawas City, MI 76 pages. Near Fine, in illustrated wraps. Just a hint of shelf/edge wear to photographic covers. No previous owner markings - all pages are clean and unmarked. Signed by the Author on the FFEP. Nine chapters and epilogue. Log marks were to Michigan what cattle brands are to the grazing states. Lumbermen identified ownership of logs by hacking or stamping symbols on them. In 1859 a law was enacted to require owners of logs floated in the Muskegon river, or its tributaries, to mark the ends of their logs (rather than the sides) in a distinctive manner and to register the marks in the local county. All photographs are from the author's collection. Highly Recommended. A very handsome vintage Signed First Edition. LOC SSM-07
