This is a quick read and would be very good for people unfamiliar with Michigan's U.P. There are some valuable tips for knowing what to pack and how to prepare for some of the more out-of-the-way destinations. It's not a complete listing, of course, but it does hit the highlights and they are organized by region, which would be helpful for people planning a vacation.

Michigan born

I was born in Hancock, Michigan and grew up in Houghon and then Ontonago. I moved to Wisconsin in my teens. I visited most of the places mentioned in this book.

Review from a Yooper

I enjoyed reading this book as it revealed a lot of history I never knew about our beloved U.P. I would highly recommend it to Yoopers and Trolls alike.
