Synopsis

Why does Grand Traverse County usually vote Republican? How did it come about that "A view of the Bay is worth half the pay?" How did the Ku Klux Klan gain a foothold locally? Where were the women of Grand Traverse in the nineteenth century? These and other questions are answered in discussions focused on important historical events, artifacts, and institutions of the Grand Traverse area. Thoughtful and at times provocative, Glimpses of Grand Traverse Past explores who we are and how we got that way. Illustrated with archived photographs, it presents a refreshingly new perspective on our local history. Richard Fidler taught biology in Traverse City for thirty-one years, though he has been a student of history for much longer than that. Sadly, he is not a native of the area but takes solace in the fact that his wife is.
