Mackinaw River Historical Bibliography
The following is a historical bibliography for sources on the Mackinaw. I freely admit that this is far from a comprehensive list, but nonetheless it is a start for anyone interested in the rich historical cache of the region.
I have evaluated each of these materials at one time or another and feel fairly conversant on their contents. If something on the list sparks your interest and you want more specific details, please let me know.
