Tyler R. Tichelaar, 7th generation Marquette resident, spent thousands of hours researching and writing The Marquette Trilogy: Iron Pioneers, The Queen City, and Superior Heritage.
These entertaining novels tell the story of Marquette, Michigan, a pioneer town in a harsh and unforgiving climate. Fictional characters mingle flawlessly with historically accurate events to weave stories "as rich as iron ore."
The success of the Marquette Trilogy has allowed author Tyler Tichelaar to publish more of his historical works including his collection of short stories, Narrow Lives.
