Superior Heritage 

The Marquette Trilogy: Book Three

by Tyler R. Tichelar

The Marquette Trilogy comes to a satisfying conclusion by bringing together characters and plots from the earlier novels and culminating with Marquette's 1999 sesquicentennial celebration. Madeleine Henning's story is finally revealed as secrets from the past shed light upon the present. The novel's main character, John Vandelaare, is descended from all the early Marquette families in Iron Pioneers and The Queen City. While he cherishes his family's past, he questions whether he should remain in his hometown. Then an unexpected event changes his life forever.

Praise for the Marquette Trilogy:

"Tichelaar has a knack for creating characters the reader connects with. You know you've just finished reading a good book when you have to stop and remind yourself these aren't people who will be coming over for dinner later, or whom you'll bump into at the grocery store, but rather characters in a story. They're that real."

"Dr. Tichelaar is the James Michener of Michigan's Upper Peninsula."

"If you are from the U.P., ever visited the U.P., or have always wondered where the heck the U.P. is--grab these books, curl up somewhere comfy, and ENJOY!!"

Tyler R. Tichelaar, PhD and seventh generation Marquette resident, was raised on tales of his hometown's past. Superior Heritage is the third in his trilogy of novels celebrating Upper Michigan's history.
