Exploring Michigan's Sunset Coasts is the last in a three-book series following the cogs of the St. Lawrence Seaway that define Michigan's borders. It is a fresh look at the information a traveler wants. It doesn't provide lodging, restaurants, souvenir shops, or other listings that are quickly outdated. Today's travelers obtain up-to-date specifics on the internet. However, the author, who had written prior Michigan travel books, felt that before exploring a new place, a visitor wanted a bit of history and background. This series is a traveler's companion. It includes city histories, museums, parks, beaches, lighthouses, ghost stories, shipwrecks, stories about the famous or infamous with ties to the shores, disasters that shaped the state, and movies and books set along the stops covered in each volume. Book One, Exploring Michigan's Sunrise Coasts, began in Michigan's southeast corner in Luna Pier and ended at Mackinac City. Book Two, Exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula's Coasts continued the journey across the Mighty Mac. Starting in St. Ignace it travels the St. Mary's River, the southern shore of Lake Superior, and the northern shore of Lake Michigan to Gulliver. This final book in the series, Exploring Michigan's Sunset Coasts, takes the traveler from Cross Village to New Buffalo ending at Michigan's southwesternmost point. What Royce envisioned was a travelers' companion to add flavor to your experience.
