About this ebook
Discover the Motor City before the motor: a muddy port town full of grog shops, horse races, haphazard cemeteries and enterprising bootstrappers from all over the world. Meet the argumentative French fugitive who founded the city, the tobacco magnate who haunts his shuttered factory, the gambler prankster millionaire who built a monument to himself, the governor who brought his scholarly library with him on canoe expeditions and the historians who helped create the story of Detroit as we know it: one of the oldest, rowdiest and most enigmatic cities in the Midwest.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not exactly what I was expecting when I picked up this book. I understand the "hidden history" in that the book touches on some of the lesser-known people in Detroit's history, but each is discussed very briefly, leaving me with the feeling of wanting more. It would have been nice to have a little more in-depth detail on each topic/person mentioned.
