Excerpt from Annals of Fort Mackinac The evening of another long Mackinac winter have been spent revising, correcting and amplifying the "Annals of Fort Mackinac." Additional matter has been obtained from original records here and elsewhere; pertinent matter has also been culled from reliable authorities and from records in the U.S. Treasury, State and War Departments. Facts have been simply and briefly stated. The manuscript for a much larger book has been prepared; but, in order to adapt the book to the wants of the thousands of tourists who annually visit the "Isle of the Dancing Spirits," many subjects have been omitted. Most of the views of scenery are entirely new, having been prepared especially for the "Annals," as was also the map of "Ancient Michilimackinae," the latter by Rev. Father Edward Jacker. Among the portraits there are several of persons, all more or less generallv known, among them that of Rev. Father Jacker, world-renowned as the discoverer of Marquette's grave; also that of Col. P. Donan, who has done more than any living man, as author of newspaper articles and of that beautiful little volume, "Mackinac Island, the Wave-washed Tourists' Paradise of the Unsalted Seas," to draw the attention of Americans to The Enchanted Isle."
