On April 14, 2009, Brian Leigh Dunnigan will speak about his book, A Picturesque Situation: Mackinac before Photography, 1615-1860, which was published last year by Wayne State University Press and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Mackinac Island and the people who lived there. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Park Library Auditorium at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, MI. Dunnigan’s impressive collection of prephotographic images of the Mackinac region draws upon decades of research. Rare maps, plans, drawings, sketches, engravings, and paintings, all in full color, are enhanced by the highly readable text. Mr. Dunnigan’s book has been recognized by the Library of Michigan as one of its 2009 Michigan Notable Books. This presentation is made possible in part by the Library of Michigan and the Library of Michigan Foundation.
