I think there was a BOERTMAN who was the main character in the book by Stuart GROSS, FRANKIE AND THE BARON. Are you aware of that? I'll have to check my records on that. It is a true story that took place in the mid 1800's. Jan Johnson
Hi Jan, WOW !! your kidding. I have never heard of that .. That would be a wonderful find. Please let me know what you find out. My oringinal Boertman, Carl Adolph Eduard Boertmann came to the USA in 1850 so the timing is about right. Please let me know what you find out.

Hi Jan,' I went for a search on the book you mentioned. Here is what I found. Details: 6.25" x 9.25" Tall 0923568182 Copyright 1991. 181 pages including index. Tight copy with rubbing on dust jacket. Red boards with black title lettering on spine. Book description--Against a backdrop of excitement and depravity, Frankie Howe came to the Saginaws in 1879 as an innocent, vulnerable fourtheen year old. Seduced by the glittering, empty promises of the nortorious Warren Bordwell, within days she entered a life of prostitution, pain and eventual despair in the infamous Bordwell Opera House. Publisher: Wilderness Adventure Books Place of Publication: Fowlerville, Michigan Date of Publication: 1991 Edition: First Edition Binding: Hard Cover Condition: As New/Good Keywords: Michigan, History, Saginaw, Bordwell, Opera, House Looks like it was Bordwell not Boertman. Sounds like that person wasn't very nice anyway.LOL Thanks anyway. I might get the book just to learn more about Saginaw.
