Book Description
Huron County, Michigan, was organized by the Michigan legislature in 1859 and quickly became known for its abundant natural resources-in particular, lumber. In the summer of 1881, disaster struck, as 1,500 square miles of forest burned. Huron County rose again, replacing lumbering with agriculture as its major industry. This agricultural tradition, along with commercial fishing, continues to this day. In Huron County, Michigan the Huron County Historical Society showcases the histories of the communities of Bad Axe, Bay Port and Ora Labora, Caseville, Elkton, Harbor Beach and Port Hope, Pigeon, Port Austin, Sebewaing, Ubly, and White Rock, using over 200 vintage photographs. Stop by the Caseville Mercantile or visit the old Caseville High School. Go back in time to the 1933 Sebewaing Farmers and Merchants parade that wound its way through the downtown area. A 1920s Prohibition scene comes to life in Bad Axe as Deputy Duncan McKenzie dumps illegal whiskey into the sewer at the site of today's "old City Hall."

Book Description
This anthology gathers an intriguing range of poets, their visions and voices. The poems as a whole, in one way or another, explore the variances in Michigan landscape; shoreline; lives lived in the city, town, and countryside; our uncommon diversity of cultures, points of view, concerns, celebrations, losses, and histories. This book also features artwork that focuses on Michigan. The poems and art are mingled in a way that will not reduce the art to illustration, nor the poetry to commentary. Each piece, poem and artwork, stands alone in its presentation. Includes poetry from: Tom Andrews James Armstrong Cullen Bailey Burns Jackie Bartley Elinor Benedict Terry Blackhawk Gladys Cardiff Susanna Childress Patricia Clark David Cope Jim Daniels Mike Delp Toi Derricotte Chris Dombrowski Jack Driscoll Stuart Dybek Nancy Eimers Robert Fanning Mary Jo Firth Gillett Lisa Fishman Linda Nemec Foster Matthew Gavin Frank Joy Gaines-Friedler Dan Gerber Linda Gregerson Mariela Griffor Robert Haight francine j. harris Jim Harrison Bob Hicok Conrad Hilberry Dennis Hinrichsen Amorak Huey Austin Hummell Lizzie Hutton David L.
