Take Forest Haven Soldiers: The Civil War Veterans Of Glen Lake Surrounding Leelanau Articulated By Leonard G. Overmyer Listed As Script

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 Lakeshore.
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 setting that these veterans fought and died for.
A rumored updated edition will be a welcome read down the road,
