L. P. Reynolds' family homesteaded in Michigan. He wanted to go to college, so he helped build Hillsdale College. He published a pamphlet whenever he felt strongly on an issue. I think that Anti-Woman Suffrage by L. P. Reynolds is of interest to the student of the suffrage movement for the insights it gives into the ideas and thinking of the opposition.

Lorenzo P. Reynolds was my great-grandfather. His daughter, Julia Reynolds Leverett, my grandmother, was a supporter of the suffrage movement. On the front of this pamphlet in what looks suspiciously like Julia's writing, are the words "foolish man!" - Jim Leverett
