Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-23 00:00:00 Matt Mcknab With "Michigan: A History of the Great Lakes State", Bruce Rubenstein & Lawrence E. Ziewacz take we the reader on a tour of the history of the Wolverine state which is at times more interesting than even I had realized. The book itself does a decent job of at the beginning focusing on the Indians who made the state home & the challenges that Michigan faced from those early days under multiple country rule as well as it's compromise way to enter the US. At over 300 pages, Rubenstein & Ziewacz go into a decent in depth look at all of the quirks (both good & bad) that make Michigan what it is as well as explaining the challenges that are a hallmark of the state as well & to the tenacity of the people who call that state home. As a non-native of "that state up north" (as we call it in Ohio), this is a book that will have anyone taking a closer look at the state & understanding it in a way that I never did before. It's also for me a reason to go back someday to visit to explore more of this state & understand it better than I do now.
