ALBION, MICH. –   John Daly to Speak About “How Michigan Became Michigan”
 
            The Albion Historical Society, partnering with Stirling Books & Brew, is excited to announce that John L. Daly will be presenting a talk on February 22, 2025, at 1 p.m. at Stirling Books & Brew as part of its annual speaker series. John's presentation is entitled "How Michigan Became Michigan" and will illustrate how an inaccurate 1755 map led to Michigan's boundaries, gave us Isle Royale National Park, and started the Toledo War.
            John L. Daly, MBA, CPA, CMA, CPIM, is a Chelsea--based management consultant specializing in costing, pricing strategy and pricing model development. He has spent much of his career training corporate financial professionals. He is the author of Pricing for Profitability, a novel, Tool & Die, eight one-act plays, and numerous professional articles. He has had a lifelong interest in history, and this presentation is based on his Michigan History Magazine article, "The Misleading Mitchell Map: Isle Royale and the Toledo War."
            With ties still in the area, John grew up in Albion and was president of the Albion High School Class of 1971.  He is the son of Drs. Miriam and Harold Daly who practiced medicine in Albion for many years.
