Book excerpt: "The Kalamazoo River of southern Michigan rises in the Irish Hills south of Jackson in Hillsdale County and flows gently westerly until it exits into Lake Michigan near Saugatuck nearly 200 miles later. On the way it passes through two of Michigan's middle-sized manufacturing cities, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, and many smaller towns with big histories, Homer, Albion, Marshall, Concord, Galesburg, Allegan, Otsego, and Plainwell. A few places that were once important stops on the river, Singapore, Sheridan, Bath Mills, and Harmonia, no longer exist at all. There was a time, too, when hydro-electric dams on the Kalamazoo River furnished most of the electricity for southern Michigan."--Publisher description on back cover.
