Lake Michigan’s largest island was once the centre of a self-declared Mormon kingdom.
Then the “king” was shot, his followers were driven off, and the island became mostly Irish, with Catholic services still being held in Irish Gaelic decades later.
This is Beaver Island.

🇬🇮 Gibraltar National Day
Map ⬇️ created by my brother H/T @UKLanguageMaps
The spirit of the image is to highlight the vital military value 🇬🇮 provides 🇬🇧 and the vast historical ties that bind us.
A wealth of information is included, covering military, census information, previous borders etc.
