She’s carved out a niche in the social and material history of bars and alcohol—or, as she likes to call it, barchaeology.
Mickey is passionate about history—especially Detroit history—and has given lectures at historical societies, private clubs, museums and libraries. She is the author of two history books: Wicked Detroit: The Scoundrels and Charlatans Who Founded Detroit and City on a Still: Detroit During Prohibition (forthcoming).
