Book Review of Mackinac Island : Its History in Pictures

Mackinac Island : Its History in Pictures
reviewed on + 84 more book reviews


This large and attractive book, published by the Mackinac Island State Park Commission, is a pictorial history of the Island: as a fort, as a fur trapping and fishing station and finally as a tourist destination. Chocked full of black-and-white photos (many quite large), each with its own surprisingly detailed footnote. This book is a wonderful look at the history of the island, and a nice keepsake for anyone who loves the island.
