A New History of Presque Isle County's Shoreline Communities
Years of research on the history of Presque Isle County has culminated in publication of Almost an Island: Early Histories of the Shoreline Settlements in Presque Isle County, by Gerald Micketti and Mark Thompson. Mark is Executive Director and Curator of the Presque Isle County Historical Museum, and Jerry is the author of three book's in the Museum's Local History Book Series. Published just this spring, this richly illustrated volume provides information on the communities of Presque Isle, Bell, Thompson's Harbor, Crawford's Quarry, Rogers City, Spensville, Hammond, and Grace. Along the way the authors add new information, and sometimes totally revise, the "conventional wisdom" about certain people and events in the history of this area. It's a great read!
