While it is believed this sketch may have interest for the general reader, it at the same time carries a local coloring which may more particularly appeal to those who know the place. As the charm of the locality is due, in no small degree, to that halo of antiquity which hangs over it, I have felt warranted in restricting myself to early Mackinac, with but slight allusion to anything short of sixty years ago.
