Mick, You told the story pretty well, (as a Michigander I have heard the story a few times before) but Beaver island is by no means the northermost inhabited island in the great lakes. Mackinac Island is further north (and a whole lot more famous) and so is Drummond Island , just to name two. They are both located up in the straights of Mackinac just east of the Mackinaw bridge.
