Like all states, Michigan has grown because of the boldness, wisdom, strength, and creativity of its citizens.
In the Third Edition of their popular text, Professors Rubenstein and Ziewacz have combined to present a different
kind of state history, one that includes the traditional accounts--the impact of the French and British, the rise
of the automobile industry, and the tales of lumbering and mining--but one that also portrays an unflinching account
of the story of all the peoples of Michigan, with special emphasis given to American Indians, women's suffrage,
and the contributions of white ethnics.
Informed by the latest research and taking the Michigan saga right up to the present, this beautiful, well-illustrated
book is certain to inform students and all those interested in the unique history of the Great Lakes State.
