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.
