Local History Of Detroit And Wayne County PDF Download

Excerpt from The History of Detroit and Michigan, or the Metropolis Illustrated: A Chronological Cyclopedia of the Past and Present; Including a Full Record of Territorial Days in Michigan and the Annals of Wayne County The insertion of biographical sketches in the first edition of this work was suggested to the author, but it was deemed best to postpone the preparation of such material until the subject could be given greater attention. The successful sale of the first edition, and the gratifying demand for a second, has now given opportunity for this addition, which is certainly appropriate in a local history; for without citizens there would be neither city nor history, and brief biographies of representatives of various classes of its business and professional men will give a fairly representative idea of the city.
