Text on Michigan State Coffee Mug:

Bordering on four of the five Great Lakes, Michigan is divided into Upper and Lower peninsulas by the Straits of Mackinac, which link lakes Michigan and Huron. The two parts of the state are connected by the Mackinac Bridge, one of the world's longest suspension bridges. To the north, connecting lakes Superior and Huron, are the busy Sault Ste. Marie Canals.
Michigan is called the Wolverine State, because of the importance of wolverine pelts to early trading posts in the region.
Michigan has more than 11,000 lakes and about 3,300 mi of coastline on four of the Great Lakes.

Origin of name:
From Indian word “Michigana” meaning “great or large lake”
Motto:
Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice
(If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you)
Admission to Statehood:
January 26, 1837 as the 26th State
The way of life in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, with its vast industrial development, has come to symbolize the 20th-century United States. The Upper Peninsula is a less populated region of great natural beauty that is known as a recreation and wilderness area. It is also noted for its mineral wealth.
