A Spirit of Dissention and Disobedience in the Troops: Military Mischief at Michilimackinac

In the summer of 1780, a series of cascading conflicts overwhelmed the Michilimackinac garrison. 

A dispute over soldiers’ pay and mistreatment culminated in a collective refusal to follow orders – in other words, a mutiny. Repercussions spread from Michilimackinac to Detroit, Niagara, and even Quebec, and ultimately derailed the construction of a more defensible and strategic post on nearby Mackinac Island. 

Join Chief Curator Craig Wilson to learn more about this dramatic event, and how it fit in with one of the most tumultuous periods in Mackinac’s history – the American Revolution. 

This program will be presented via Zoom. A link to the presentation will be sent in the days leading up to program.
