Lore of the Great Turtle

In 1959 Mackinac State Historic Parks began archaeological excavations on the site of Fort Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City, Michigan. Since then, the Parks have continued excavations, not only at Michilimackinac, Mackinac Island, and Mill Creek, but at other sites at the Straits as well. Over the years the highly respected Archaeological Completion Reports Series has presented significant interpretations of this archaeological research. The reports are now available through Michigan State University Press. Using the works of Henry R. Schoolcraft, Gringhuis retells Indian stories revering many features on Mackinac Island including Arch Rock, Devil's Kitchen, and Scull Cave.
