Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The White Islander Through French, British, and early Ameri can occupation, Mackinac was the center of the fur trade. Indians and traders met here. The crescent bay swarmed with strange figures, and packs of beaver were carried from canoe to warehouse, the traffic of a con tinent and the result of a year's labor being disposed of in a few brief days. The Ameri can Fur Company had its headquarters at Mackinac, and living islanders - Dr. Bailey and James Lasley can tell much of the life it annually brought to break in one great wave upon the strip of beach. You might close your eyes when the moon is large over the summer lakes, and almost hear again the roaring song of coureurs n'a boz's around the turn of the bay.
