The purpose of this volume is not to replace the excellent existing texts available on Michigan history but to provide guidance through state history in conjunction with other readings. Key terms, self-assessments, critical thinking questions, exercises, suggested reading lists, and other resources accompany this brief volume, and, to the author’s knowledge, this is the only Michigan history text to include these features. While by no means exhaustive, this text is comprehensive, strives for objectivity, and is meant as an accessible academic introduction to the study of Michigan history.
