"Though a lover of peace, Mr. Punch from his earliest days has not been unfamiliar with war. He was born during the Afghan campaign; in his youth England fought side by side with the French in the Crimea; he saw the old Queen bestow the first Victoria Crosses in 1857; he was moved and stirred by the horrors and heroisms of the Indian Mutiny. A little later on, when our relations with France were strained by the Imperialism of Louis Napoleon, he had witnessed the rise of the volunteer movement and made merry with the activities of the citizen soldier of Brook Green. Later on again he had watched, not without grave misgiving, the growth of the great Prussian war machine which crushed Denmark, overthrew Austria, and having isolated France, overwhelmed her heroic resistance by superior numbers and science, and stripped her of Alsace-Lorraine."

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

The Bastille was the most famous of prisons. Only the Tower of London could be compared with it, and while the Tower has attained a greater age, and has harbored kings, princes, and many of England's most famous sons, yet the Bastille appealed more strongly to the imagination. It seemed the visible symbol of tyranny; mystery hung over the fate of those immured within it; many of them were confined without charge, remained without trial, and suffered without record. In its annals, both romance and history have found abundant material. As is the case with many famous institutions, tradition has somewhat exaggerated its importance. Mr. Bingham tells us that when the Bastille was captured by the Parisian mob, it contained only seven prisoners, obscure and unimportant criminals. It had become no more than an ordinary prison; except as marking the beginning of a Revolution, its overthrow was not deserving of long commemoration. Even in the days when the Bastille was reserved for more dignified offenders, its terrors somewhat diminish as we study history. The most of its inmates were persons of social importance, and they usually had all the comforts that were consistent with restraint. During the reign of Louis XV, many persons famous in literature were sent to the Bastille, in order to manifest the government's disapproval of their views. Item #684
