What is the aim or goal of your writing: 1st ed. says, " Ferris was born in Lewiston, where his father ran a general store. Later the family moved to Hillman, Lapeer, and to Frederic in 1912. This place, in the heart of the lumber country, had a strong influence on the boy of eight, who grew up to write about lumberjacks, pioneers, and early Michigan history."
