		Fort Michilimackinac is located on the southern peninsula of Michigan, at its northern-most point where a strait containing Mackinac Island joins Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
		Yet, it has also brought museums into direct conflict with the leisure entertainment industry, and has forced many to closely examine their methods and mission as they seek to entertain, educate and preserve.
		One of the highlights of this trip, however, was certainly my visit to Fort Michilimackinac, where I was anxious to see firsthand the places Dr. Petersen had described in his essay.

		Fort Michilimackinac was the first fort to fall during the war, an incident that can be blamed equally on American blundering and Brock's prescience.
		Brock was smart enough to devise the plan and get word to the British forces at St. Joseph (near Mackinac Island) and the Americans were remiss in not getting the word out to their frontier posts that it had in fact declared war on Great Britain on June 18, 1812.
		A strong-willed Pennsylvanian who had been engaged in the fur trade for about twenty years, Dousman had been selected by Hanks as the "confidential person" to go to St. Joseph's because he had legitimate business on that island and thus would not be suspected of spying.
