Early Detroit
Our city has risen to its present noble
proportions, and our State, from being the haunt of the wolf and the bear, __
the fit hunting-ground of the savage, —teems with an active, industrious, intelligent population, and the wild beauty of the forest has given place to the higher beauty of cultivation. Happy homes, schools, churches, pretty villages and thriving towns occupy the sites of Indian wigwams, and the streams where alone moved the bark canoe, float upon their bosoms the commerce of a rich and populous State.
