Title: Forest Haven soldiers
Description: This rare book was filled with wonderful local histories and a great feel for the natural environment of the region that tied in well with the pioneer veterans of the Lake-shore. Overmyer wrote:

     "Then, as now, they heard the morning songs of the whippoorwills among the forests of Sleeping Bear Bay; Loons echoed from the secluded beaches of Port Oneida, to the inland lakes of Otter Creek; and at sunset, the cry of the Bald Eagle filled the North Manitou skies."  - L. G. Overmyer, Forest Haven Soldiers 

     Anyone who has visited this region will realize how well this local author captured the Leelanau - Grand Traverse area setting of Michigan that these veterans fought and died for. A rumored up-dated edition will be a welcome read down the road...
