The U.S. Paddle Frigate Michigan,
By
This review is from: Guardian of the Great Lakes: The U.S. Paddle Frigate Michigan (Paperback)
Guardian of the Great Lakes is the saga of USS Michigan an iron-hulled war steamer launched in 1843. It's mission was to patrol the often volitile Great Lakes region, quelling port town civil disturbances, while at the same time rescuing both Canadian and American ships in distress.During the course of it's duty ship and crew engaged in battling lumber pirates, The Mormon tyrant (King) Jesse James Strang of Beaver Island as well as Miners and conflicts associated with the Civil War. An excellent book about episodes in Michigan History that are often times overlooked. |
