Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Detroit Just at the close of the revolutionary war another class of immigrants, the loyalists. Began to make their wants known, and they not only had to be listened to, but the efforts of Great Britain were to encourage them. They were all protestants, and their work along religious lines was powerful in their own direction. Detroit was peculiarly situated. It was known to be 21 possession of the United States. But in the hands of Great Britain temporarily. The latter country desired to retain it, but knowing that they could never own it. Without at least another war, the English did not care to improve it by establishing churches or other per manent buildings. No protestant church, or church society, was ever permanently established there prior to 1796, the date of the Exodus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Detroit in Its World Setting: A 250-Year Chronology, 1701-1951 Many chronologies of one sort or an0ther are available in published form. This Chronology differs from others in that it is local in orientation. Detroit is the focus. Events in Detroit are given a separate and the leading listing. Events of local importance or interest are included whether or not they had national influence. Events of national importance may be treated in their local sense in the Detroit section as well as in their greater aspect elsewhere. Since so much of the early history of Detroit coincided with that of Michigan before statehood and since Detroit plays such a large role in the state and is inextricably bound up with state events, Michigan as well as Detroit is included in this local emphasis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenir of Detroit: Fully Illustrated, Containing a Sketch of Detroit's History, Resources and Points of Interest to Visitors A word in relation to the city's public improvements will be best appreciated at this point in our narrative. The city has Belle Isle park, of over 700 acres, located in the middle of the river within the Elf-mile circle from the city hall, being the finest natural city park on the continent. This park is connected with the mainland by a superb iron bridge, free to all, and from this bridge extends a grand boulevard, twelve miles in length and from 200 to 300 feet wide, which passes entirely around the city. In addition to Belle Isle park, the city has the Clark park at the extreme west side of the city. Clark park contains several hundred acres. And finally, there is the Campus Martius - the site of the city hall - the Grand Circus, a semi-circular park, a quarter of a mile up Woodward avenue, Cass park, and eight other small parks, located at various points throughout the city. Thus it will be seen that the city is wondrously Well provided with lungs. In this same category, however, must be placed about fifteen miles of asphalt pav ing and hundreds of miles of block pavement, along broad and sumptuously shaded avenues, which transform the entire city into a veritable park. In the line of public buildings, there is a very fine city hall, a large public library, the Detroit museum of art, the municipal courts building, the central market building, fifteen or twenty large and very handsome fire engine houses, a dozen, well built and serviceable police stations, the house of correction, forty-nine public school buildings, and a water works establish ment most extensive and elaborate, a fit vehicle for the distribution of the most perfect supply of water for all purposes controlled by any city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Detroit in 1890 Compared With 1870 Scarcely twenty decades have passed since the founding of Detroit. During nearly all of these years and up to a very recent period, the prosperity of the city was greatly hindered by the ease-loving and extremely careful spirit of its earliest founders, and their cautious descendants. It was this spirit and education that provided the early streets of only twelve or twenty feet in width, and that resisted the extension of the city, through the opening of roads and streets across the narrow farms that on either side hemmed in the town. This same Spirit in later owners still seeks its own but fortunately it has no longer power to hinder the city s growth and gain.

Download or read book Detroit Is My Own Home Town (Classic Reprint) written by Malcolm W. Bingay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detroit Is My Own Home Town presents a comprehensive history of Detroit, Michigan as written by Malcolm W. Bingay. As a lifelong resident of Detroit, Bingay has a lot invested in the text, and in the accurate and sentimental portrayal of the history of his hometown, which is more often than not painted with the brush of industry and crime. Bingay presents information from a range of sources to create a full picture of the history of Detroit and its place in the larger story of American history, making a point to highlight the spirit of the town as captured in its many hardworking residents. The book begins with Detroit's humble beginnings as a French trading post which eventually is turned into a military post intended to protect traders and civilians from the raids of Native Americans in the region. The book discusses Detroit prior to the American Revolutionary War, Detroit as Michigan becomes a state, and Detroit though more contemporary years. Bingay discusses Detroit's importance in the auto industry, which it is probably best known for, and even touches on Detroit's baseball team, the mighty Tigers. Many of the articles hone in on specific individuals who were important to Detroit's history such as Charles F. Kettering, Walter P. Chrysler, and Henry Ford. For readers intrigued by the city of Detroit, Detroit Is My Own Home Town provides a wonderful look at this great city and its lengthy history. Written by Detroit native Malcom W. Bingay, this book contains both historic information and personal anecdotes. This is a great book for historians, individuals interested in Detroit, and for readers who have lived in the Detroit area and will recognize the places that Bingay explores in the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of the City of Detroit Gentlemen: The Committee on Civic Improvement respectfully report as follows: Before the Committee was organized, the Board of Commerce had secured a report on the improvement of the City of Detroit from Mr. Charles Mulford Robinson, who is well known in connection with the propaganda for civic improvement, and whose writings on that subject have wide circulation. At the request of your Committee, the Directors invited Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., professor of Landscape Architecture at Harvard University, to spend a week in Detroit, and make a report on the various improvement topics under discussion. Professor Olmsted was one of the Washington Park Commission, and by President Roosevelt has been retained in an advisory capacity in connection with that work, besides having charge of the landscape features of the Capitol grounds and the National Zoological Park. His firm are also the consulting landscape architects of the Metropolitan Park System of Boston, of the Chicago outer park system, and of the most important park work in this country. The elder Olmsted made the original plans for Belle Isle Park, and many of his suggestions are still available among his papers.
