The Michigan companion

Library Journal: Woodford (This Is Detroit, 1701-2001) brings into a single volume a raft of interesting facts concerning, for example, Michigan's natural resources, notable historical events, individual cities and counties, Native American tribes, geographical landmarks, major figures, successful companies and products, historical and contemporary sports teams, and educational institutions. He also addresses broader, more complicated issues such as racial and ethnic hostilities. Each running several paragraphs in length, entries are organized alphabetically by the name of the location, term, period, or place. An effortless, fact-filled read, this fun trivia book is recommended for state-focused collections, past and present inhabitants of the Wolverine State, and curious lay readers.
