When the "Michigan State Troops" were signed into existence by Governor Albert Sleeper on March 27, 1919, the force consisted of fifty officers, four cars, five motorcycles, three trucks and an undetermined number of horses. The Governor probably didn't anticipate that this underequipped, quasi-professional agency would become the Michigan State Police, a modern, efficient law enforcement organization, which today consists of over 2,000 officers and 800 civilian employees, with duties ranging from the "Detroit Freeway Patrol" to protecting the residents of isolated homes and cottages in the upper peninsula. However, by the nature of the task, and man's inhumanity to man, the road from 1919 was inevitably paved with sacrifice, professional courage and the death in action of a number of officers. Their stories, and legacy to the living, began on . . . old Grand River Road about three miles west of Novi in the early morning hours. . . . Item #2172

Hawaii is to be thought of no longer as principally an island resort, famous for its pineapples, sugar cane, surfboards, and hula dancers, but as a point of tremendous strategic importance in the present world conflict - an offensive and defensive outpost in the Pacific. What about the history of this fascinating and important archipelago? Dr. Bradley supplies the background - the activities and interests of Americans in the Islands, commercial at first, supplemented after 1820 by the extensive interests and labors of the missionaries. Beginning even before the discovery of the Islands by the redoubtable Captain Cook, through the beginning and flourishing of the picturesque American-Oriental trade, through religious struggles and international rivalries to the recognition of Hawaiian independence, the climax of 65 years of progress, the author gives a clear and accurate account. It is history to read and enjoy; for, as one of our advisers wrote, "the author ahs an exceptionally lucid style, and a fine sense of continuity." The casual reader will be content with the main narrative, but for the benefit of the historian, amateur or professional, who wishes to go deeper into any particular incident, this study has been extensively documented. The author, associate professor of history at Stanford University, knows the Islands and has devoted years of study to this field. Item #831
