W. P. Strickland’s Old Mackinaw blends local history, Native American legend, and frontier lore around the storied island and fortress of Mackinac in the Great Lakes. Drawing on Indigenous oral tradition, early explorer accounts, and settler memory, the book paints a vivid portrait of a place where several worlds — Ojibwe, French, British, and American — intersected across the centuries.
Part travelogue, part legend collection, and part historical narrative, Old Mackinaw is a valuable record of regional folklore. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted for any reader.
