Like all states, Michigan has grown because of the boldness, wisdom, strength, and creativity of its citizens. In the Third Edition of their popular text, Professors Rubenstein and Ziewacz have combined to present a different kind of state history, one that includes the traditional accounts - the impact of the French and British, the rise of the automobile industry, and the tales of lumbering and mining - but one that also portrays an unflinching account of the story of all the peoples of Michigan, with special emphasis given to American Indians, women's suffrage, and the contributions of white ethnics. Informed by the latest research and taking the Michigan saga right up to the present, this beautiful, well-illustrated book is certain to inform students and all those interested in the unique history of the Great Lakes State.
Dr. Bruce A. Rubenstein, Professor of History at the University of Flint-Michigan, is a native of Port Huron, Michigan, and received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Dr. Rubenstein's areas of specialty, in addition to Michigan history, are American Indian-White Relations, Twentieth-Century Political History, and the History of Sports. He co-authored two other books with Dr. Ziewacz, Three Bullets Sealed His Lips and Payoffs in the Cloakroom: The Greening of the Michigan Legislature, 1938-1945, both dealing with Michigan's political history. He also has authored Chicago in the World Series, 1903-2005: The Cubs and White Sox in Championship Play, in addition to several articles on baseball and American Indian-White Relations in Michigan. Dr. Lawrence E. Ziewacz, late Professor of American Thought and Language at Michigan State University, was a native of Sault Ste. Marie, in Michigan's upper peninsula and received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University. In addition to his co-authored books with Dr. Rubenstein, he co-authored The Games They Played: Sports in American History and was co-advisory general editor for The Guide to United States Popular Culture. Dr. Ziewacz was a reviewer for the National Endowment for the Humanities and published numerous articles on sports and Michigan political history.
