    by Aaron Helman (Author)

    Part History, Part Travel, Part Adventure-And 100% Pure Michigan

    From vanished towns and famous battles to forgotten beaches and backroad legends, The Turtle, The Mitten, and An Epic History of Michigan takes readers on a captivating journey through the people, places, and moments that shaped the Great Lakes State.

    This isn't your typical textbook history. It's a road-ready companion - perfect for travelers, history lovers, lifelong Michiganders, and curious newcomers alike.

    You'll explore:

    • The lost town of Singapore, buried beneath Lake Michigan sand dunes
    • The Union Pier Nudist Club, where Chicago writers helped reshape literature
    • The intersection at Phillips Corners, where Michigan and Ohio went to war
    • The lumber towns, auto plants, and battlefields that defined a nation

    Along the way, you'll visit charming lakeside destinations, ancient forests, and the gritty heart of Detroit - the most American city there ever was.

    Whether you're planning your next Michigan road trip or rediscovering the stories of home, this book offers a smart, surprising, and unforgettable adventure through one of America's most fascinating states.

    Aaron Helman is a historian, storyteller, and podcaster whose books bring local legends and overlooked history to life. His previous works include Ride the Jack Rabbit and An Incomplete History of St. Joseph County, Indiana.
