| Fort Michilimackinac | 
|
| This fort, built about 1715, put French soldiers at the Straits for the first time since 1701. French authority ceased in 1761, when British troops entered the fort. On June 2, 1763, during Pontiac's Uprising, Chippewa Indians seized the fort, killing most of the small force, and held it for a year. When the British moved to Mackinac Island in 1781 this old fort soon reverted to the wilderness. |
