A Michigan State Historical Marker in front of the cave states: "According to tradition this is the cave in which English fur-trader Alexander Henry hid during the Indian uprising of 1763. The floor of the cave, he claimed, was covered with human bones, presumably Indian."

The Wikipedia article has additional information, giving Henry's comments on his stay in the cave, and can be found here.
