About This Item

Detroit: R. L. Polk & Company. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1987. Reprint. Softcover. This is a facsimilie reprint of the rare 1837 original edition which was published by R. L. Polk in Detroit in honor of Michigan's sesquicentennial. It is a cornerstone of any Michigan collection as it was published in the year Michigan was admitted to the Union and provides a great deal of historical and factual information regarding the state and Detroit in addition to a list of household heads, their address and occupation. This primary source material provides much more information on individuals than the United States Census of 1830 which only lists the names of household heads, omitting place of residence and occupation. This copy is bound in stiff green printed wrappers, stapled with three staples, and with black spine. Original printed R. L. Polk letter accompanying this book laid in, dated July 1987. A nice clean, tight and unmarked book with a little age toning to wrapper. ; 8vo, 8"- 9" tall; 114 pages .
