Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
We had many eastern boarders, to-wit: Mr. Thomas Palmer, Calvin Baker, Paul Clapp, Wm. Brewster, Levi Cook, and Orville Cook and others. Levi Cook taught school in part of Mr. Thomas Palmer's store, which I and my brothers and sisters attended until he commenced other business.
As I have said, Detroit was a strange place. The old market stood in the centre of Woodward avenue, south of JefEerson avenue, with a whipping post at the northeast corner, where criminals were whipped for pet;ty crimes, and sold for fines and costs to the one who would take them for the least number of days' work on the streets.
