In this book, he turns to his native Michigan to tell a story of what happened when a primitive wilderness changed into a bustling industrial center so fast that it was as if the old French explorer Etienne Brule \"should step up to shake hands with Henry Ford.\"The idea that abundance was \"inexhaustible--that fatal Michigan word,\" as the author calls it--dominated thinking about the state from the days when Commandant Cadillac's soldiers arrived at Detroit until his name became a brand of car. Viewed in this light, Michigan is a case study of all America, and Americans in any state will be fascinated. In a colorful, dramatic past, Mr. Catton finds understanding of where we are in the present and what the future will make us face.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856482009376,"sku":"NEW0393301753","price":13.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81p6CjOuEkL.jpg?v=1781549845","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/michigan-a-bicentennial-history-states-and-the-nation-0393301753","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
