Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Mackinac, Vol. 2 of 2: The Historical, Picturesque and Legendary Features of the Mackinac Country Illustrated From Sketches, Drawings, Maps and Photographs, With an Original Map of Mackinac Island, Made Especially for This Work Volume I of Historic Mackinac is made up largely of data pertaining to the early history of the Mackinac coun try. The charms of Mackinac Island, with its old Fort, its beautiful scenery, pure and healthful air, the delights of its Indian trails, and the romantic legends interwoven with fascinating stories of the fairies, have attracted to its shores many of the most noted authors of their day. They have written of Mackinac, and have brought both fiction and fact into their productions, adding much to America's best literature through the inspiration given them by the richness of Mackinac's store of historical, legendary and picturesque resources. Meredith Nicholson, Charles Major, Edward Everett Hale, Constance Fenimore Wool son, and many other well-known writers, have found here a perfect environment and setting in which to weave their stories of life and of love. The aim has been to bring together and preserve for the reader of today and in years to come, some of the graphic descriptions given by cele brated travellers who visited the Island many years ago. To this end, Volume II is largely a collection of extracts from books long since out of print, all of which will ever hold an important place in the story of the Fairy Isle.
