  Skull
Cave
 Many
small caves can be found on Mackinac, but the most well-known is Skull
Cave. This cave was so named by the English fur trader, Alexander Henry
who hid there while escaping from the Indians during the Pontiac Uprising
in 1763. Wawatam, an Indian friend of Henry guided him to this site for
refuge.
According to his written account of the adventure, Henry spent an uneasy
night sleeping on the floor of the cave which he found the next morning
to be littered with human bones and skulls.
