Wilson describes them in this highly readable and entertaining book, Yankees-defined by their shared culture and sense of identity-had a number of distinctive traits and sought to impose their ideas across the state of Michigan. After the ethnic label of ""Yankee"" fell out of use, the offspring of Yankees appropriated the term ""Midwesterner."" So fused did the identities of Yankee and Midwesterner become that understanding the larger story of America''s Midwestern regional identity begins with the Yankees in Michigan.Discovering the peoples of Michigan.New EnglandersMichiganHistoryPioneersMichiganHistoryInternal migrantsMichiganHistoryFrontier and pioneer lifeMichiganRegionalismMichiganHistoryRegionalismMiddle WestHistoryMichiganHistoryMichiganSocial life and customsMichiganSocial conditionsNew EnglandersHistory.PioneersHistory.Internal migrantsHistory.Frontier and pioneer lifeRegionalismHistory.RegionalismHistory.304.8/77407409034Wilson Brian C858447MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779540603321Yankees in Michigan3717120UNINA
