Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Business Compendium of Ottawa County, Michigan, Vol. 1 of 2 It is with considerable assurance that we introduce to the public our Historical and Business Compendium of Ottawa County, for we known it to be the best book of its kind ever published in the state of Michigan. In the compilation of this work it has not been our ambition to preserve pure English to future generations, but to furnish to all people interested in Ottawa country's past, present and future, as many historical and current facts as possible, in a small amount of space, and for a very little money. Feeling confident that this generation has furnished others who could write, we have quoted many of them, and enlisted a few in our service for special articles. We are under great obligations to G. J. Van Schelven of the Holland City Naws, Rev. Henry E. Dosker of Holland, Hon. Cornelius Van Loo of Zeeland. Rev. E. P. Gibbs, Wm. N. Angel, Herman Nyland, Mrs. U. E. T. Rork, of Grand Haven; G. A. Mitchell of Grand Rapids, and others, for valuable contributions to the historical work. In this work involving a vast amount of labor, we have endeavored to treat all alike. We have endeavored to obtain the best of everything and submit it to the boiling down process. It has been our aim not to deal with the biographies of men further than they were interwoven with the history of the county. However, it is our intention to soon publish a small volume of biographies of prominent men of the county to go with this work.
