    E. J. Peterson was a long-time dairy operator here in Muskegon.

    This rarer milk (the size is hard to find) was given to me by my town's biggest bottle-enthusiast who had dug it. He said it is pre-1900, which was likely the cut-off date of the dump or privy he dug it from.

    The bottle is missing the bottom but is a welcome addition.

      Muskegon is from a Native word for Land of Many Swamps. Cities like Pontiac were named after tribes.

      Gonna be Mr. Expatriate?

      I always was curious about why it sounds like 'ex-patriot'.
