<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Who would have thought a city would one day stand where there was nothing but swamp, with long grass where there was scarcely an opening in the woods, and in which the wolves made plenty of howling. This observation was made by Leon Trombley, one of the first to try to settle in this part of the Michigan frontier in the early 1800s. His nephews, Mader and Joseph, would soon follow and ultimately become noted among the area s first permanent residents. The residents of Bay City have always aspired to be legendary, whether by design, accident, or sheer determination. Annie Edson Taylor, the area schoolteacher turned daredevil who would ride her Bay City built barrel over Niagara Falls (and survive!), is only one among a large group of local legends that includes Olympic champions, community leaders, artists, musicians, scholars, philosophers, and historians."
