Mackinac Island: Inside, Up Close, and Personal

Cawthorne's half-century of living and working on the famed northern Michigan resort island provides a colorful, entertaining, and comprehensive history of social, economic, and political events which have shaped Mackinac Island in the last 50 years. The book has been described as a nostalgic and candid behind-the-scenes look... part memoir, part history, and part chronicle... noting the author's experiences as carriage driver, chamber of commerce manager, state legislator, restaurateur, attorney, legislative advocate, and for over twenty years, a member and chairman of the Mackinac Island State Park Commission.
