A Poetic History of
Michigan and Michigan's Thumb
By Mark R. Putnam
Do you like good story telling . . . history and also poetry?
Then, you will enjoy reading "The Fur Trade of Michigan's Thumb",
"The Logging of the Cass River in Michigan",
and "Chief Otusson".
Another work started is "Podunk" . . . It describes a
land in Michigan that was both elevated and sunk.
There are also other poems such as the origins of the state names
in the United States, the origin of county and county seat names
in Michigan, and
the place names in Michigan's Thumb.
The poetic histories are up to 100 pages long, and each reads
much like an
epic song.
After reading each Michigan's history, you will be much more
learned and erudite.
Thanks for visiting my Michigan's Thumb website.
