These episodes are recounted in the words and deeds of the people who lived and worked here, men like Judge Woodward, Father Gabriel Richard, and Governor Lewis Cass. The reader meets, among others, old General Hull surrendering the city to the British General Brock, dread cholera epidemics killing hundreds of residents, a man named Vernor making up a batch of excellent ginger ale to sell in his drug store, and Charles King building and driving the city's first motor car. Here are also accounts of the expansion of the automobile industry, the days of the Roaring Twenties, Prohibition, Great Depression, World Wars I and II, and the city of the 1950s and 1960s. This is the story of a great city; a story of past deeds, present problems, and future hopes. But more important, this is a story by and about the people of Detroit, for it is the people that have made this city great. 410 0$aSavoyard book. 606 $aHistory of the Americas$2bicssc 607 $aDetroit (Mich.)$xHistory 610 $aHistory of the Americas 615 7$aHistory of the Americas 676 $a977.4/34 700 $aWoodford$b Frank B$g(Frank Bury),$f1903-1967.$01132124 702 $aWoodford$b Arthur M.$f1940- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524862403321 996 $aAll Our Yesterdays$92721028 997 $aUNINA
