Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Annals of Fort Mackinac The evening of another long Mackinac winter have been spent revising, correcting and amplifying the "Annals of Fort Mackinac." Additional matter has been obtained from original records here and elsewhere; pertinent matter has also been culled from reliable authorities and from records in the U.S. Treasury, State and War Departments. Facts have been simply and briefly stated. The manuscript for a much larger book has been prepared; but, in order to adapt the book to the wants of the thousands of tourists who annually visit the "Isle of the Dancing Spirits," many subjects have been omitted. Most of the views of scenery are entirely new, having been prepared especially for the "Annals," as was also the map of "Ancient Michilimackinae," the latter by Rev. Father Edward Jacker. Among the portraits there are several of persons, all more or less generallv known, among them that of Rev. Father Jacker, world-renowned as the discoverer of Marquette's grave; also that of Col. P. Donan, who has done more than any living man, as author of newspaper articles and of that beautiful little volume, "Mackinac Island, the Wave-washed Tourists' Paradise of the Unsalted Seas," to draw the attention of Americans to The Enchanted Isle." Among others I am under obligations to the following: Residing at Mackinac - Dr. John R. Bailey, Hon. John Biddle, Hon. William P. Preston, Ambrose Davenport (since deceased).

Excerpt from Annals of Fort Mackinac, 1882 TO help pass the long, dreary evenings of a Mackinac winter, was compiled the following Annals Besides information derived from official sources, in cluding the records on file in the Fort, the old books of the American fur-company, the records of the Village and County of Mackinac, and of the churches of Mackinac and St. Ignace; old documents in the hands of private individuals have been also examined and much matter obtained which it is believed has never before been in print. Most of the old records are in the French language, in the translation of which I have been assisted by Lieut. E. H. Plummer and Sergt. F. J. Grant. With some few exceptions, there are records for the years back to 1712. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

While the military features of historic forts usually receive the most attention from researchers, this volume focuses instead on the people who met and interacted in these sites. Contributors to British Forts and Their Communities look beyond the defensive architecture, physical landscapes, and armed conflicts to explore the complex social diversity that arose in the outposts of the British Empire. The forts investigated here operated at the empire's peak in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, protecting British colonial settlements and trading enclaves scattered across the globe. Locations in this volume include New York State, Michigan, the St. Lawrence River, and Vancouver, as well as sites in the Caribbean and in Africa. Using archaeological and archival evidence, these case studies show how forts brought together people of many different origins, ethnicities, identities, and social roles, from European soldiers to indigenous traders to African slaves. Characterized by shifting networks of people, commodities, and ideas, these fort populations were microcosms of the emerging modern world. This volume reveals how important it is to move past the conventional emphasis on the armed might of the colonizer in order to better understand the messy, entangled nature of British colonialism and the new era it helped usher in.

Whether prehistoric and glacially slow or swift and modern, countless changes to Mackinac Island have driven much of its history out of sight and memory. Eons ago, waves washed away soft rock to leave behind limestone formations like Arch Rock, which have survived virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Other natural curiosities were regrettably destroyed in the twentieth century. To this day, the Grand Hotel welcomes guests from around the world but lost are smaller hotels such as the New Mackinac and the Lasley House, where a large--and live--bear stood chained to the front door. Steamships and schooners that brought celebrities like Mark Twain and members of the Barnum & Bailey Circus to the island long ago sank in the Straits. Author and historian Kelly Pucci explores the lost history of Mackinac Island.
