Aaron Helman is a Midwestern historian, storyteller, and the author of several acclaimed regional books, including The Turtle, The Mitten, and An Epic History of Michigan, Ride the Jack Rabbit, and An Incomplete History of St. Joseph County, Indiana. His work explores the surprising, forgotten, and fascinating corners of American history—often with a focus on the Great Lakes and the communities that grew around them.

His latest book, The Turtle, has become a regional bestseller in Michigan and has been featured on NPR, in museum gift shops, and on history podcasts across the Midwest.

When he’s not writing or researching, Aaron is probably wandering through a local museum, hiking a lakeside trail, or drinking too much coffee while planning his next historical deep dive.
