This small illustrated booklet indicates that Mackinac Island already had a thriving tourist industry in the early 1880s, with “…six hotels, a number of summer boarding-houses, stores and shops of all kinds…” The fort and other tourist attractions are described, with background history and legends. There is a chapter on the neighboring attractions of Bois Blanc Island, St. Ignace, Mackinaw City, Sault Ste. Marie and other places.
