"This is a work of fiction. I make no claim on Dame History other than to use teh characters and events She has so generoulsly provided. My primary concern in writing this novel has been to bring the story of Michilimackinac to life and to rescue its ghosts from teh penitential fires of obscurity. On occasion, this task has required some 'truth enchacement' - what writers like to call 'poetic license.' What happens in this book is very closely to what really occurred, but to me, the 'sense' of drama is more crucial to understanding than the accurate portraya of individual lives. The whole, in other words, is superior to its parts. I have supplied the dialogue and applied some make-up, but "the play's the thing." AUTHOR'S NOTE.

From the Publisher: Edge of Empire provides both an overview and an intensely detailed look at Michigan's Fort Michilimackinac at a very specific period of history. While the introduction offers an overview of the French fur trade, of the place of Michilimackinac in that network, and of what Michilimackinac was like in the years up to 1716, the body of the book is comprised of sixty-one French-language documents, now translated into English. Collected from archives in France, Canada, and the United States, the documents identify many of the people involved in the trade and reveal a great deal about the personal and professional relations among people who traded.

Craft industries, non-agricultural activities producing surplus goods beyond the producing household's needs, are a neglected topic in fur-trade studies. This dissertation is a comprehensive historical archaeological study of the craft industries at Fort Michilimackinac, a major mission, fur trade entrepot and military outpost on the eighteenth century Great Lakes frontier. Documentary sources used include military and commercial documents and traveler's accounts. Archaeological data from the ongoing (since 1959) excavations at Michilimackinac is an equally important source of information. The major conclusion of this study is that there were no independent full-time craftsmen or craftswomen at Michilimackinac. Craftsmen necessary for survival of the settlement, blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers were sponsored by the institutions in authority, the military, colonial government and church. Other craft activities, such as the production of tinkling cones, lead shot, Micmac pipes and maple sugar, were carried on as side activities by trader's families in order to supplement their income. Reuse and repair were common survival activities on the frontier.
