EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
BY ORSAMUS LAMB, OF ADRIAN
Assembled in this hall of legislation, surrounded by those whose forms and faces denote that in the time long ago they came upon the active scenes of life, we feel inspired by the memories of early life to contribute, in our feeble way, something to the sum total of the history of this fair peninsula. And while that part of the State of Michigan of which I shall more particularly speak is, in a measure, unknown to fame and general historic incident, yet Woodstock, with its verdant hillsides, fertile plains and sparkling waters, seems to me like heaven's bright gift to man.
