Early Detroit
Of such great nations are not made. A noble discontent is necessary to call forth the giant energies of the human soul. It is, however, refreshing to escape for a moment from the atmosphere of feverish excitement, overwork and unrest, in which we live,, and dwell upon such a scene of quiet beauty and content. The author who, with a genial spirit and an artist eye, looking through the dim transparency of the past, shall reproduce to this generation a true and lively picture of the first sixty years of Detroit, will deserve and receive the warmest gratitude.
