Download or read book Memories of a Mackinac Island Native written by Tom Chambers and published by Modern History Press. This book was released on with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join me on a trip to Mackinac Island's past, from the late 1940s to the present day. These are my memories of growing up on the Island, as well as some earthshaking changes that happened to affect everyone: the end of steamship visits, the building of the Mackinac Bridge, the increasing size and speed of passenger ferries, the introduction of new transportation (from 10-speeds to snowmobiles) and much more. On a more personal level, I'll share stories of how I earned my living on the Island, from house painting, cooking and bartending to delivering ferries from the factory. I'll also share my love for music and just plain having fun in rock-and-roll bands. This book includes many of my own photos that allow you to peek behind the curtains of the Jewel of the Great Lakes. "Finally a book written about the Island, by a man who's lived here his whole life. A true, first-hand account of the history and nuances of Mackinac that cannot be found in any other tome. This is the first of what - I hope - becomes a collection." --Jason St. Onge, Mackinac native, fire chief, councilman and businessman. "Tom Chambers' lifetime first-hand knowledge of Mackinac Island business history (especially ferries), local characters and fascinating Island lore make him a valued go-to resource for residents, as well as anyone interested in the Island. His deep family ties and experiences growing up and working on the Island always inform any discussion of Mackinac. I learn more about our beloved Island every time we speak." --Marta Olson, Mackinac Island author, Mintaka Designs. "This is a true, born-and-raised Islander perspective. Teen years on a snowmobile (when no one knew what they were), beach parties with a guitar, bike relays with competitors that turned into friends. An avid photographer and lifelong collector of memorabilia and stories, Tom Chambers has cataloged life on Mackinac for the last 50 years and now has a story, or two, to tell." -- Becki McIntire Barnwell, Islander and former co-owner of Hotel Iroquois.

Download or read book The Dockporter written by Jim Bolone and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dockporter. He's got a bike, a basket ... and a whole lotta baggage. It's the summer of 1989. Jack McGuinn is a dockporter, transporting tourists' luggage, piled high in the basket of his bike on Mackinac Island, Michigan, a tiny summer resort where cars are outlawed and pedal-power rules. He's got the season wired tight: a family cottage on the bluff, a dream job, and a loyal crew of hell-raising, tip-hustling buddies. When his old friend-turned bitter rival challenges him to ride a record-setting load, he takes the bet and soon realizes he's not just carrying suitcases, he's carrying the future of the island, which is about to be paved over for profit. With the help of his pals on the dock and the love of a romantic, free-spirited Irish cellist named Erin, Jack digs deep to discover skills he didn't know he had. The Dockporter is an offbeat, nostalgic coming-of age-story that appeals anyone who ever had a summer job. If Rushmore director Wes Anderson remade Caddyshack but it emerged as a hybrid of Footloose and Meatballs (and was a book) it would be The Dockporter. Genre-smashing, hilariously fresh, yet refreshingly familiar, it's a novel about friends, family, love, luggage, and the summers we never forget. We feel the same way you do. The world's gotten a bit serious lately. So kick back, pour yourself something cold, and take a summer vacation, even if it's just in your mind. Because let's face it: we all need an island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***** Wonderful read and full of surprises! This book was a wonderful read and brought back many memories of when I was a kid and the first time I went to Mackinaw Island. Aside from the intriguing story and its mystery, I loved the subtle life lessons that are presented, such as being kind and understanding, that makes such a difference in ourselves and others. As a big surprise, I also learned a ton of new things about the history of the area and the reasons behind their appearance. It kept my interest as an adult, and I just bought one for my 7-year-old friend as well. It's got my two thumbs up and I'm looking forward to reading the next one. Betsy Determined to win the annual Boy Scout charity race and lay claim to a prized jackknife, Liam works hard. The only roadblock to overcome is Danny, the club bully, who wants it for himself. However, neither boy is prepared for what happens at the event. After the race, the Boy Scouts and the members of the Vet Kids Club gather for their annual bonfire and BBQ hosted at Liam's farm. Charlie brings his family including his Uncle Makwa, a Native American from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. While sitting around the campfire, Mia, Liam's older sister, notices Makwa's tattoo of a white bear on his arm. Makwa shares a legend about the majestic "Spirit Bear." "Few will eye the white bear as he whispers through the forest, but the magic of his spirit remains in the trees, sky, and earth, and in those who seek his mark." Makwa tells her of seeing one in the UP, where Mia's family will be vacationing. "The Spirit Bear lives near the meeting of waters, where water falls from above and bears gather. A tamarack tree reaches to the sky. Here is where the spirit bear fused his mark deep into the red bark and those who touch it will receive the spirit bear's magic in their heart." While Liam and Mia are vacationing on Mackinac Island with their parents, will they find the Spirit Bear and solve the mystery?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the Anishinaabe-Ojibwa people it was a gathering place, a sacred burial ground, and the home of the Great Spirit Gitchie Manitou. Throughout the 1600s French voyageurs, explorers, missionaries, and fur traders arrived at Mackinac Island. Its strategic location in the straits between Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas made it a military outpost the British and Americans found worth fighting for through the War of 1812. By the late 1800s Mackinac was a destination for city dwellers seeking fresh air, scenic beauty, recreation, and amusements. Today, passenger ferries transport visitors to the car-free island, where getting around is by foot, horse-drawn carriage, or bicycle, the air is still clean, and the scenery spectacular. Most of Mackinac is a state park, fringed with grand Victorian cottages and the whitewashed fort overlooking the compact village of pastel-colored hotels and shops (including the famous fudge makers). 100 Things to Do on Mackinac Island Before You Die helps you make the best of a day trip and reveals dozens of reasons to spend a night—or longer—at this captivating spot.
