Points North by Mikel Classen

Modern History Press is excited to announce the publication of Points North: Discover Hidden Campgrounds, Natural Wonders, and Waterways of the Upper Peninsula by Mikel B. Classen, In this book, I’ve listed 40 destinations from every corner of the U.P. that have places of interest. Some reflect rich history, while others highlight natural wonders that abound across the peninsula. So many sights exist, in fact, that after a lifetime of exploration, I’m still discovering new and fascinating places that I’ve never seen or heard of. So, join in the adventures. The Upper Peninsula is an open book—the one that’s in your hand.
