Summary: Getting to know the habitants
Review: As a descendant of one of the founding habitants of Fort Pontchartain, I am always looking for information on their lives. This book not only gives a great deal of information about life during the first ten years of Detroit, but also brings it alive for the reader. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's story, its presentation of Cadillac, and attention to detail. This is fun reading for anyone who wants to get a flavor for Fort Pontchartain.

Summary: A Very Well Done Tale of Early Detroit
Review: Sure, I've enjoyed very kind hospitality at the author's house, and have a personally inscribed copy of this book, but I can still maintain my professional objectivity. This is a great book about early Detroit. What with meticulous research in primary sources about Cadillac and Early Detroit, as well as "improving" upon the facts to better portray the drama of 1701, this book is a must have for students of early Detroit, or for those interested in French exploits in the early 18th century. Highly recommended.
