If I am not mistaken, the first hardware store that the Capital City could boast of was that of A. N. Hart at the corner of Franklin avenue and Center street. The second was soon after started by Edward Elliot at the corner of Washington avenue and Allegan street. On the demise of Mr. Elliot this store passed into the hands of A. R. Burr and Geo. K. Grove. This store burned down somewhere in the fifties and the firm resumed business in the building vacated by Wright & Holmes, 102 South Washington avenue. On the retirement of Col. A. R. Burr from the business, E. H. Whitney took his interest and the firm name became Grove & Whitney and remained thus until the death of Mr. Grove, in the event of which the affairs of the firm were closed up and the business went into other hands.

This database is one such guidebook produced in Michigan describing the area around Lake Superior. It includes information regarding the geology and geography of the Marquette and Keweenawan districts of Michigan. It also follows the author's travel route from Sault Ste. Marie to Duluth, including the communities of Marquette, Presque Isle and Macinac. For those wishing to better understand the Upper Midwest in the nineteenth century, this can offer an informative perspective. Extended Description: Bibliography: Library of Congress.
