Bookworm #82: Author Conversation with Norm Krentel "Michigan Railway Company: The Northern and Southern Divisions" - Sponsored by Doug Johnson

Author Norm Krentel discusses his new book Michigan Railway Company: The Northern and Southern Divisions tracing the company's founding in local rail-based public transportation systems in Lansing, Jackson, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, and Owosso-Corunna to its eventual demise, abandoned prior to the stock market crash of 1929. Along the way he will examine how electric railway history is intertwined with the state of Michigan utilizing rich visual support from historic photographs, including selections from the David V. Tinder Collection of Michigan Photography at the Clements Library.
