Founded in 1701 by Antoine de le Mothe Cadillac as a trading post
and fort, Detroit had a turbulent early history. Captured by the
British in 1760, ceded to the United States in 1783, and destroyed
by fire in 1805, Detroit nevertheless prospered throughout the
nineteenth century because of its strategic position. The twentieth
century saw the rise and demise of the auto industry and despite
the city’s troubled recent past, a new Detroit is rising to meet
the economic challenges of the twenty-first century. This book is a
fascinating document of history and change in one of the United
States’ most important cities. Sites include: Woodward Avenue,
Detroit Waterfront, Campus Martius, Jefferson Avenue, Cadillac
Square, Capitol Park, J.L. Hudson Company, City Hall, Wayne County
Building, Grand Circus Park, Michigan Theater, Capitol Theater, Fox
Theatre, YMCA Building, Detroit Athletic Club, Eastern Market,
Elmwood Cemetery, Belle Isle Casino, Scott Fountain, Palmer Park,
