The standard guide; Mackinac Island and northern lake resorts . uff with vistas of the lake, and again to some open outlook, whence thepanorama is bounded only by the limitations of vision. There are glensand ravines innumerable; open spaces which were the ancient gardens ofthe Indians; and delectable parks, whose clumps of shrubs and trees areso effectively arranged that one at first thought credits the artistic effectto the skill of landscape artist rather than to the caprice of nature. The place names here are memorials of an historic past. Mackinactakes us back to Indian days; St. Ignace perpetuates the record of mis-sionary endeavor under the regime of New France ; British Landing andFort Holmes recall the stirring events of the War of 1812. The old form of Mackinac was Michilimackinac, meaning Great Turtle.IIichi (or Missi as the French wrote it), meaning great, enters into thecomposition of other names: Michigan, great water; Mississippi, greatriver. iNIarquette spelled it Michilimakinong. which is close to the Indian THE STAXJJARD Gil HE..

The old legend is that once upon a timewhen the people were gathered on the shore, where now stands St. Ignace, to watch the rising sun, in the Manitou or Fehruary moon, they saw theisland rise out of the lake before their astonished vision. Seen from thatpoint the contour of the island is that of a turtle, and this was the namethey gave it. Another interpretation is that tlie Indian name was Mishi-min-auk-m-ong, meaning the place of dancing spirits—ethereal and shadowy beings of In-dian mythology who were believed to make the island a chosen haunt. Formerly the French form Mackinac was written in English Mackinaw;but this spelling appears now oiily in the name of Mackinaw City acrossthe Straits. Mackinac is pronounced as if in the final syllable it werespelled Mackinaw. Approach.—From whatever direction one may come in tlie journeyto Macki
