DESCRIPTION:
This growth spawned the development of numerous businesses, organizations, and institutions, many now forgotten. Detroiters know their history well. Mary Chase Stratton created a new art form. Forgotten Detroit delves into the wellspring of history to retell some of these lesser-known stories within Detroit’s rich heritage.. Detroit’s meteoric rise during the 20th century established the city as an influential leader in commerce, culture, and religion. Albert Kahn left his indelible mark. Founded in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the city subsisted on a variety of industries: fur trading, stove building, and, of course, the automobile. And Henry Ford II changed the course of his family legacy. Names such as Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh resonate in Detroiters’ common memory
Great Gift July 4, 2010
walk down memory lane Was a gift for someone who once lived in Detroit. Was very appreciated. Life in Detroit John Rohrbeck I've lived in Metro Detroit my entire life so I assumed I knew nearly everything about Detroit history. Boy, was I wrong! This book contained so many interesting facts that I wasn't even aware of. And, the old photographs show some great times in Detroit's history as well as some of our low-points. I thought it was a great book for everyone that's connected to Detroit. The book reminded me that Detroit has a lot to be proud of and I hope we're on our way to making some more great history in the future. Thanks, Paul, for putting together an excellent book! I've already recommended it to several friends.. the way it was: Detroit bigskymama Growing up in Detroit in the fifties was wonderful, everyone looked out for each other, there was a melting pot neighborhood where depending on the day you could share spaghetti or stuffed peppers or pierogies, doors weren't locked and Grandmothers lived with grandchildren and their was respect and love and laughter.
