All Our Yesterdays
A Brief History of Detroit

Frank B. Woodford and Arthur M. Woodford		 When All Our Yesterdays first appeared in 1969, it was the first history of the City of Detroit to be published in the previous twenty-five years. It is an accurate account based on extensive historical research, yet is written in such a style as to make interesting and enjoyable reading.
The authors tell of the founding of the the town by the French, control by the British, and growth as an American city. These episodes are recounted in the words and deeds of the people who lived and worked here, men like Judge Woodward, Father Gabriel Richard, and Governor Lewis Cass. Here also are accounts of the expansion of the automobile industry, the days of the roaring twenties, prohibition, the great depression, World Wars I and II, and the city of the 1950s and 1960s. This is the story of a great city; a story of past deeds, present problems, and future hopes.		 1. As It Was in the Beginning
