Mary Elizabeth Day Trowbridge was chosen as historian for the Michigan Baptist State Convention—which, like so many conventions around the turn of the century, was interested in setting down the denominational history in their state. This volume, the fruit of Trowbridge’s labors to that end, provides a detailed account of the Baptist denomination in the Great Lake State through the early 1900s. Trowbridge features a variety of material, covering missions, aid, and publication societies, biographies, the founding of Kalamazoo College, prominent women and women’s societies, interesting reminiscences from ministers, and more. Also included are illustrations, statistical charts, and an index.
