In Richard Bak's Detroit Across Three Centuries, readers are introduced to some of the epic names and events from the city's past. Ottawa Chief Pontiac and the Indian uprising of 1763. Father Gabriel Richard and the disastrous fire of 1805. Henry Ford and the creation of the Model T. Walter Reuther and the birth of the United Auto Workers. But the author also expertly weaves in the stories of some of the footnote people that populate local history. The unlucky George Bissell, for example, who in 1902 became the city's first traffic fatality, and Daniel West, Detroit's most mysterious politician, who vanished without a trace one day in 1965. Rounding out the text are the first~person reminiscences of a variety of "witnesses." Ted Taipalus remembers fighting the rummies on the Detroit River during Prohibition. Doug Fraser tells of his travails organizing labor during the Great Depression. Martha Reeves recalls doo~wopping under the trees at Northeastern High School. Supporting the narrative and sidebars are hundreds of historic and contemporary photographs and illustrations, many in full color, that not only give the reader a sense of the city's past, but a look at its present and future. Detroit Across Three Centuries is more than just a coffee table~type book about a big city. It's a gripping story, honestly and entertainingly told, of generations of iconic figures and ordinary folks who helped expand a simple riverside community into a complex, sprawling and uniquely American metropolis. …
