Andrew Kercher presents The Prison of Mackinac Island. Can you imagine being imprisoned on Mackinac Island? For some today it might sound like a dream come true, but in the 1860s it was all too real for a trio of Confederate sympathizers. Hear their stories and the tales of the men recruited to guard them on one of the most beautiful prisons in Michigan history.
