This Is Detroit, 1701-2001

Arthur M. Woodford's excellent history of Detroit makes a valuable contribution to our city's tricentennial celebration. This Is Detroit, 1701- 2001 illuminates Detroit's rich heritage and central importance-especially during the twentieth century, when our gifts to the world were nothing less than the auto industry, collective bargaining, the Arsenal of Democracy, and Motown music.-

~Dennis W. Archer, Former Mayor, City of Detroit

Of all the mainstream text format history books written about Detroit in the past 50 years . . . This is Detroit is one of the best and most comprehensive efforts. It also has many wonderful photographs, some of which have never been published before outside of newspapers.
