What is the aim or goal of your writing: In my writings, I succeeded to collect and publish authentic material which would have otherwise been lost. In fact, much of the sources I used are not now available. In the three documented books there are 336 pictures, 55 maps, several documents and dates and postmaster's names relevant to 24 post offices which have been in Kalkaska County.
