The Keweenaw Puzzle: Busting Myths, Reavealing the Truth, and Uncovering the Facts of Keweenaw Stories and Legends (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781441421487)

Was Calumet almost the capitol of Michigan? Did Houdini appear at the Calumet Theater? Did the Portage Lake Pioneers win the Stanley Cup? Who was Big Annie - and what was so big about her? Is there really a secret fortune in silver waiting to be rediscovered? In the movie THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE a reporter said, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." Some think that makes for a more interesting story - but often the truth is more fascinating than the legend, and the truth is always better than a lie, no matter how pleasing that lie. Here are some facts behind a few of the tales commonly told in the Keweenaw. With a rich and wonderful history to share, we don't need myths and false history.
