The standard guide; Mackinac Island and northern lake resorts . ts geographical position is admirable; its in-fluence extends and is felt among the Indian Tribes to New Orleans andthe Pacific Ocean; vast tracts of country look to it for protection and.supplies; and it gives security to the great trading establishments of theNorth West and Hudsons Bay Companies by supporting the Indians on theMissisippi, the only barrier which interposes between them and the enemy.

At the close of the war it came by cession intothe control of the United States. Years of tranquility ensued, with littleto break the serenity of garrison life at Mackinac. Then came 1812; andhere, far removed from the theater of eflfective operations, were enactedincidents of war, which if they were barren of result yet had in themthe elements which go to the conduct and winning of decisive campaigns.
