Arthur Thurner tells of the enormous struggle of the diverse immigrants who built and sustained energetic towns and communities, creating a lively civilization in what was essentially a forest wilderness. Their story is one of incredible economic success and grim tragedy in which mine workers daily risked their lives. By highlighting the roles women, African Americans, and Native Americans played in the growth of the Keweenaw community, Thurner details a neglected and ignored past. The history of Keweenaw Peninsula for the past one hundred and fifty years reflects contemporary American culture--a multicultural, pluralistic, democratic welfare state still undergoing evolution. Strangers and Sojourners, with its integration of social and economic history, for the first time tells the complete story of the people from the Keweenaw Peninsula's Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon counties.

Michigan’s location among the Great Lakes has positioned it at the crossroads of many worlds. Its first hunters arrived ten thousand years ago, its first farmers arrived about six thousand years after that, and three hundred years ago the French expanded into the territory. This book is a small sample of the words of Michigan’s people—a collection of stories, letters, diary entries, news reports, and other documents—that give personal insights into important aspects of Michigan’s history. Designed to provoke thought and discussion about Michigan’s past, the documents in this reader are expressions of past ideas, markers of change, and windows into the lives of the people who lived during well-known events in Michigan history.

Helen Berthelot's memoir, Win Some, Lose Some, tells the story of what happened behind the scenes at a pivotal point in Michigan political history. It's a chronicle of loyalty, devotion, vision, personality, and old-fashioned patriotism. Elected to office of governor in 1948, Democrat Mennen Williams served in that capacity until 1960. Despite opposition in the Republican legislature and resistance from the press, Williams garnered public support and literally built a state government that served the needs of the people. He left a legacy of elementary and secondary schools, college and university buildings, mental hospitals, roads, and bridges, especially his beloved Mackinac Bridge. Far more than a chronicle of Williams' career, Win Some, Lose Some reveals how politics and campaigning have changed —from budgets on a shoestring to multi-million dollar media exercises run by image makers, consultants, and market researchers.
