Synopsis
Part History, Part Travel, Part Adventure-And 100% Pure Michigan
From vanished towns and famous battles to forgotten beaches and backroad legends, The Turtle, The Mitten, and An Epic History of Michigan takes readers on a captivating journey through the people, places, and moments that shaped the Great Lakes State.
This isn't your typical textbook history. It's a road-ready companion - perfect for travelers, history lovers, lifelong Michiganders, and curious newcomers alike.
You'll explore:
- The lost town of Singapore, buried beneath Lake Michigan sand dunes
- The Union Pier Nudist Club, where Chicago writers helped reshape literature
- The intersection at Phillips Corners, where Michigan and Ohio went to war
- The lumber towns, auto plants, and battlefields that defined a nation
Along the way, you'll visit charming lakeside destinations, ancient forests, and the gritty heart of Detroit - the most American city there ever was.
Whether you're planning your next Michigan road trip or rediscovering the stories of home, this book offers a smart, surprising, and unforgettable adventure through one of America's most fascinating states.
