OF THE

WITH

COPIOUS EXTRAOTS

FROM

MARQUETTE, HENNEPIN, LA HOUTAN, CADILLAC, ALEXANDER HENRY, AND OTHERS.

“ Beauteous Isle! I sing of thee,

Mackinac, my Mackinac,
Thy lake-bound shores I love to see,

Mackinac, my Mackinac,
From Arch Rock's bright and shelving steep
To western cliffs and Lover's Leap,
Where memories of the lost one sleep,

Mackinac, my Mackinac.
“Thy Northern shore trod British foe,

Mackinac, my Mackinac,
That day saw gallant Holmes laid low,

Mackinac, my Mackinac.
Now Freedom's flag above thee waves,
And guards the rest of fallen braves,
Their requiem sung by Huron's waves,

Mackinac, my Mackinac."
