Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Since 1887, Detroit's Eastern Market, the largest open-air market
of its kind in the United States, has been home to an amazing
community of farmers, merchants, and food lovers. Specialty shops,
bakeries, spice companies, meat and poultry markets, restaurants,
jazz cafes, old-time saloons, produce firms, gourmet shops, and
coldstoragewarehouses cover Eastern Market's three square miles.
Its many streets and vendors reflect the varied cultures and
ethnicities that have shaped the city of Detroit. In this third
edition of Detroit's Eastern Market, authors Lois Johnson and
Margaret Thomas recount the history of the market with additional
stories and personal accounts of families who have worked and
shopped there for as many as four generations. The authors have
updated store information and added new restaurants and businesses
to their original listings, reflecting the changes and additions
that have taken place in Eastern Market since the previous edition
in 2005. Richly illustrated with all new photos, Detroit's Eastern
Market features more than a hundred pages of delightful recipes
(including 17 new ones) from market retailers, farmers, chefs, and
customers.

This beautiful area of Virginia began to experience very rapid
development after the Civil War, putting its abundant resources to
work in the name of progress. This book deals with the reasons for
the area's growth after the Civil War, from about 1870 to 1890.
Part One covers southwest Virginia and begins with a history of the
first settlers in the region, their way of life, their troubles
with the Indians, the formation of the first counties, and the
development of agriculture and manufacturing. The breathtaking
scenery and healthful climate of the valley, as well as rich
mineral and agricultural resources, are said to be some of the main
reasons for its rapid growth. The geological aspects of the land
are also analyzed. The abolition of slavery and its effect on the
country, the development of New River railroad into the rich coal
fields of the valley, and the establishment of influential towns
such as Lynchburg, Roanoke and Salem were additional catalysts for
the modern progression of southwest Virginia. Part Two is concerned
with the Shenandoah Valley and also gives the history of the first
settlers; information about geology, climate and agriculture; the
effect of abolition on the economy; the further development of
railroads and coal mines; and the establishment of influential
towns like Berryville, Front Royal and Waynesboro. In addition, the
history of Luray Caverns and its effect on the Shenandoah Valley is
given a detailed description. A new every-name index has been
added.
