A Continuing Series of Vignettes, Volume V, Leaflet IV
From the book: Perched on the Straits of Mackinac, the wooden walls of Michilimackinac encompassed a thriving merchant community and a small garrison. In the summer of 1780, this isolated British outpost was also the scene of paranoia, personal feuds, military mischief, and, from a certain point of view, mutiny. The inciting incident, the soldiers’ refusal to follow what they believed to be an unjust order, set off a chain reaction that destabilized Michilimackinac’s garrison for over a year.
