A Book in Review – Michigan: Rogues, Desperados, Cut-Throats

Book Count: 4

Michigan: Rogues, Desperados, Cut-Throats By: Tom Powers
Non-Fiction: history, biographies 129 pages, 2002

This book includes some interesting people. There is the person that is thought by many to be the real life Paul Bunyan. And a man so evil that it is said the seven ministers refused to say his funeral and that he was buried outside of the graveyard as no one would bury him on holy ground. There is also the story of the man whose execution is what caused Michigan to be the first state without the death penalty. There are also stories from Helltown, USA. (That is amazingly not about the city of Hell, MI.) And many other amazing true life tales. All and all this was an interesting look at Michigan history.
