Reviews for This is Detroit, 1701-2001: An Illustrated History (Great Lakes Books Series)
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.
