Michigan Rogues, Desperados & Cut-throats: A Gallery of 19th Century MiscreantsRuthless killers, cruel predators, bold outlaws, unprincipled scoundrels and rowdy misfits.

The stories of the most colorful and outrageous are told between the covers of this book. Descriptions include a swashbuckling Lake Michigan pirate, a brutal brawler who gnashed opponents with a double set of teeth, the ogre of Seney, who would eat anything for money. |
