The story of an ordinary woman: The extraordinary life of Florence Cushman Milner

Milner, Florence

Historical Society of Michigan

Much of Michigan's history is not contained in the grand stories of great personages involved in epic accomplishments. Rather, the state's history—and for that matter, the histories of the world and even our own families—is in truth of a local scale and in minute detail, so local and so minute that it often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. But put together, those "histories" are the true substance of its fabric. And so it is with Sprague Taylor. He writes of people whose lives were marked by a majestic river, Michigan's Tahquamenon, and the land it sustained.

The marriage of John Johnston and Oshaw-guscody-way-quay, Woman of the Green Glade, whom he named Susan, lasted a lifetime and created a family of fascinating individuals. Settling in 1792 in Sault Sainte Marie, the Johnston family left an indelible mark on the history of a vast region.

The Historic Michigan Travel Guide is the only publication that highlights heritage travel to Michigan's history museums, historic sites, and related destinations. The biggest museums, such as The Henry Ford, the Mackinac forts, and the Public Museum of Grand Rapids, are included as are small sites such as the Les Cheneaux Historical and Maritime Museums in Cedarville. The pocketsized publication--measuring 8 inches high by 4 inches wide--lists 300 institutions and attractions in all, organized alphabetically by peninsula. In turn, each listing contains key information, such as a GPS-ready address, operating hours, admission fees, exhibit and collection highlights, and annual events. Specifics such as the availability of onsite parking and accessibility are also addressed. Commenting on the comprehensive nature of the publication, former Michigan Governor William Milliken said, "This new edition of the "Historic Michigan Travel Guide" will enable you to fully explore the fascinating story of our Great Lakes State."
