Today on Stateside, as the World Cup has eyes around the world on the United States, we look back at the underdog story behind the last time the tournament was hosted in our country and how it drew people from all over the world to Detroit. We speak with Michigan-based author, Roger Faulkner, on his recent book, You Can’t Get There From Here, on how he managed to bring the World Cup to the Pontiac Silverdome back in 1994.
Then, we revisit a story on the little-known history of Mackinac Island with Craig Wilson, chief curator of the Mackinac State Historic Parks, on how the British managed to gain control of the Island during the war of 1812 by sneaking into the island in the middle of the night and surprising the American soldiers.
