Historic Tales of Michigan Up North - D. Laurence Rogers

Descriere Historic Tales of Michigan Up North - D. Laurence Rogers

\n \nCenturies ago, Europeans desperate for gold and a route to the East found a lush, green paradise populated by native tribes in the New World.\n \n \nSubsequent violence and disease all but wiped out the native population. The land nurtured Charlton Heston and Ernest Hemingway in their youths and spawned the assassin of President William McKinley. Northern Michigan also bore witness to the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the worst shipwrecks in Great Lakes history, and to the bizarre kidnapping of Gayle Cook, an ill-fated attempt to save the Perry Hotel in Petoskey from bankruptcy. Author and storyteller Dave Rogers recounts these and other historical tales from Up North.\n
