He has authored 20 best-selling Michigan history books and lectures to audiences at schools, libraries, universities, and festivals across both peninsulas. Find more info about the Michigan Author Award at: www.Michigan.gov/MCFB.

Massie’s acclaimed storytelling about strange but true episodes conveys listeners on a fun-filled, magic carpet ride into Michigan’s past. He brings to life steel-sinewed voyageurs, rough-hewn lumberjacks, salty Great Lakes ships captains, and others who helped make Michigan a great state. He adapts his fast-paced, 45 minutes to one-hour performances to all age groups and types of audiences.

KPL congratulates Larry B. Massie and invites you to enjoy our collection in his honor.
