Excerpt from Two Missionary Priests at Mackinac, And, the Parish Register of the Mission of MichilimackinacMost of us, Mackinac are induced to do so chiefly, and perhaps altogether, by its natural characteristics. The invigorating air, the extended and beautiful land and water view, the iron in these northern rills, the health that is borne upon the breeze, the pines, those "trees of healing, " these are the things that draw us from the crowded market place or forum, from the cities' dust and cinders, and keep us lingering here delighted, until duty relentlessly calls us home again.But for all that, I venture to think that there is hardly one of us who does not consciously or unconsciously feel the power of that human sympathy which - as Ruskin has in one of his papers beautifully set forth - glorifies the Alps and the Rhine and makes them to the traveler far surpassing in interest and attraction the Sierras and the Amazon. And here in Mackinac, to those who know and are touched by the interest of its history, we may and must feel keenly this sympathy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
