From the book cover:
"A long-held dream of mine is that someday there would be comprehensive histories for every notable Michigan railroad. That wish has now pretty much come true for the old Manistique and Lake Superior line, thanks to the efforts of Hugh Hornstein."
—Le Roy Barnett, Ph.D., Former Head
of Reference, State Archives of Michigan
"Most of its records went into a bonfire at the Manistique depot in 1955. Hugh Hornstein has replaced an important part of this loss with his research into the life of the Manistique and Lake Superior Railroad. His perseverance ! and dedication to the history of this small Michigan line are apparent. The company's successes, difficulties, and eventual failure are a common but rarely documented tale of railroading in America. Hornstein rewards the reader with both insight and an historical record."
—Graydon M. Meints, author of Michigan Railroads and Railroad Companies and Michigan Railroad Lines
