Yooper History Hunter

The Yooper History Hunter Series is a new concept in history books by Mikel B. Classen, award winning historian and Modern History Press. These full-color books have a short format so they can be read quickly and priced lower. Part travel information com­bined with a comprehensive history of the subject matter, the Yooper History Hunter books focus on small individual subjects creating an indispensable collection of U.P. history.

Mikel shows the way that the reader can become a Yooper History Hunter by using contemporary and historical photo­graphy as well as directions to uncover these amazing remnants of Michigan’s past. A classic hybrid of then and now, the reader becomes the explorer seeking out those ghostly remains of the past.

Mikel B Classen, Yooper history hunter himself, puts a modern day adventure between the pages of each book. He hands out the keys to unlocking the past while journeying through the present. After 40 years of researching history and exploring the Upper Peninsula with camera and pen, he reveals places and stories that made the U.P. what it is today, a place of fascination, beauty and significance.
