Mary Jane Doerr wins second State History Award for book about J. Will Callahan (yahoo.com)


J. Will Callahan was a blind poet who lived and wrote in Northern Michigan for nearly 40 years. His most famous song “Smiles” sold 5 million copies during the 1918 Pandemic and World War I.  The following year, the world’s largest music publisher Jerome H. Remick paid Callahan $100,000 for “Tell Me.” Callahan worked with over 60 different music publishers and composers. The exquisite designs on the music feature the country’s greatest graphic artists.
