Early Detroit
A country so abounding with beauties and advantages soon attracted to it adventurous settlers from France and the older portions of Canada.
There were two classes came, having the same general national characteristics, yet quite distinct. One was the class of active, intelligent, traders and farmers, many of them of respectable and some of noble connections; the other class were voyageurs and peasants. Here, side by side, they planted their residences and lived in perfect harmony, yet each in his own sphere, each contented with his place.
