The project-the longest total suspension bridge in the world-would span the Starits of Mackinac where winds exceed eighty miles an hour and ice windrows reach a height of forty feet. It would connect two largely rural communities with a combined population of less than four thousand and would require the largest bond issue ever proposed for the construction of a bridge. Little wonder that some Wall Street investors labeled the proposition as ludicrous. Nonetheless, the Mackinac Bridge became a reality.

First explored by Native Americans, French Canadians, and Jesuit missionary priests, this water passageway, once known as Michilimackinac, connects Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and separates Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Geographically, cartographers have charted the Straits of Mackinac on the west from Waugoshance Island in Lake Michigan eastward through the narrow submerged valley between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace and continuing east/southeast down the south channel of Lake Huron to the city of Cheboygan. As a popular tourist destination, this area welcomes travelers visiting Mackinac Island, as well as historical sites where St. Ignace, Mackinaw City, and Cheboygan now prosper.

"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.

With a total span length of 8,344 feet from anchor block to anchor block, the Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the world. It surpasses the Golden Gate Bridge, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and the Humber Bridge in England, even with their longer center spans. Every phase of construction of the Mackinac Bridge was photographed. The pictures in this book, selected from 3,000 black-and-white photos, document important stages of the monumental undertaking. Captions detail the procedures used during construction. The result is a volume which captures the struggles and the hardships, as well as the determination and the pride of the men who labored to build Mighty Mac.
