On-the-Road Histories: Michigan by David Lee Poremba

On-the-Road Histories: Michigan, by David Lee Poremba, reviewed by Kelly Swartz, Local History & Genealogy Collection, Hoyt library
(Interlink Publishing, 221 pages, $20.00)

Spring is in the air, and vacation season is right around the corner. How about mixing in a little history lesson with this year’s summer get-away? Poremba’s book on Michigan history covers a wide range of topics, such as early explorers and settlers, the development of the State, changing industries, natural resources, political history, and the changes leading to modern Michigan. Scattered throughout the book are photographs and captions that highlight historical events, places, and people that have shaped Michigan’s history. This is a captivating look at Michigan’s past, and an invitation to explore the areas that make up our Great Lakes State!
