Book excerpt: Exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula Coasts is a different kind of travel book-a traveler's companion filled with a fascinating background. The author believed, based on her travels and travel writing experience, that before exploring a new place, a visitor wants a bit of history and a feel for the location. This three-book series includes city histories, museums, parks, beaches, lighthouses, ghost stories, shipwrecks, stories about the famous or infamous with ties to the shores, disasters that shaped the state, and movies and books with connections to each of the stops included. It follows the cogs of the St. Lawrence Seaway that define Michigan's borders. It doesn't provide lodging, restaurants, souvenir shops or other listings that are quickly outdated. Today's travelers obtain up-to-date specifics on the internet. Volume Two, Exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula Coasts, covers St. Ignace to Gulliver. Book One began the journey on I-75 in Michigan's southeast corner, traveled along Lake Erie, the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, St. Clair River, and Lake Huron. Book Two, Exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula Coasts, picks up across the Mackinac Bridge at St. Ignace in Michigan's U.P. and takes the traveler along the St. Marys River, Lake Superior's southern coast, and Lake Michigan's northern shore to Gulliver. Book Three, Exploring Michigan's Sunset Coasts covers Lake Michigan's shoreline from Cross Village ending at Michigan's southwestern point in New Buffalo. What Royce envisioned was a travelers' companion to add flavor and spice to your travels.
