The state of Michigan, with all its natural wonders and vast transfiguring landscapes, also holds a few peculiar wonders in its native peoples. Michigan has been the home to a variety of unusual people, such as Spikehorn, Michigan's true "Grizzly Adams", who had a gentle touch with the wild Michigan black bears in and around his cabin in Harrison, Michigan. 

There is also the mysterious archaeologist, James Savage, who unearthed thousands of ancient tablets and artifacts throughout the state of Michigan in the late 1800's. 

King Strang is the only known king to ever reign in our state. He presided over his kingdom on Beaver Island and it's presumed he was overthrown by the mainland fisherman of the day who thought King Strang was nothing more than "strange".
