REVIEW AND HERALD--ENCAMPMENT EXRA, "Special Edition", Battle Creek, Michigan, Aug. 12, 1889  This is a fine issue focused on the: "Annual Encampment of the Michigan State Troops at Goguac Lake, Battle Creek". This issue has considerable detail and includes many illustrations of various factories, etc. in Battle Creek. The back page is mostly taken up with a: "Diagram Of The Encampment".
Sixteen pages, 10 3/4 by 15 1/4 inches, some we are to the front page, minor margin wear, generally good condition.

Background:The Review and Herald—Encampment Extra likely referenced or involved the Michigan State Troops in the context of local militia or state-organized military units attending or providing security at large public gatherings, such as Adventist camp meetings in Battle Creek. During the 19th century, it was common for state troops or militias to be present at significant civic or religious events to maintain order, especially as encampments could draw thousands of people. The newspaper may have reported on their presence, drills, or ceremonial involvement, reflecting both the logistical scale of the gatherings and the connection between civilian religious life and state institutions at the time.
