Excerpt from The History of Detroit and Michigan, or the Metropolis Illustrated: A Chronological Cyclopedia of the Past and Present; Including a Full Record of Territorial Days in Michigan and the Annals of Wayne County The successful sale of the first edition, and the gratifying demand for a second, has now given opportunity for this addition, which is certainly appropriate in a local history; for without citizens there would be neither city nor history, and brief biographies of representatives of various classes of its business and professional men will give a fairly representative idea of the city.
