Early Detroit
BY C. I. WALKER.
(Written in 1858. )
Detroit is to-day, with one exception, and in many respects without exception, —the most prominent and important city of the Northwest.
It is pleasantly situated on the margin of one of the noblest and most beautiful rivers on the continent, whose blue and sparkling waters form an important link in the wonderful and stupendous chain of great inland seas and mighty rivers, that, finding their springs in the heart of a continent, roll their clear waters from the Lake of the Woods to the Gulf of the St. Lawrence.
