Early Detroit
joyously struggling with nature in her wildest, obscurest depths, and meeting, on his own ground and around his own camp-fires, the still wilder savage—here planting the footsteps of an
advancing civilization, and, in the midst of every peril and every privation, creating an Arcadia of simple happiness amid the sombre forests that lined the banks of our noble river. Nor is the history one of mere endurance, —it has its stormy and its romantic incidents.
