A Brief History of Les Cheneaux Islands: Some New Chapters of Mackinac History is a book written by Frank R. Grover that provides a comprehensive account of the history of the Les Cheneaux Islands. The book covers the period from the early 1600s to the early 1900s and explores the various events, people, and places that have shaped the islands' history. The Les Cheneaux Islands are located in the northern part of Lake Huron, near the Straits of Mackinac. The islands have a rich history, with Native American tribes, French explorers, and British and American settlers all playing a significant role in shaping the islands' development. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the islands' history. The first chapter provides an overview of the islands' geography and natural resources, while the following chapters explore topics such as the Native American tribes that once inhabited the islands, the French fur trade, and the arrival of British and American settlers. The book also delves into the islands' maritime history, including the development of the fishing and boating industries, as well as the role of the islands in the lumber trade. Other topics covered in the book include the establishment of schools, churches, and other institutions on the islands, as well as the islands' role in the Civil War. Overall, A Brief History of Les Cheneaux Islands: Some New Chapters of Mackinac History provides a detailed and engaging account of the islands' history, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Great Lakes region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
