By FRANCIS X. CHAUVINWritten Especially for The Border Cities StarHad the chroniclers and historians of today the time and money to investigate the human side of pioneer days among the early settlers of the Detroit river district, there would emerge from the records a romance the picturesqueness of which would overshadow the events that make the political and constitutional picture of the district so poignantly interesting. Much of the life of the founders of present-day generations of old families was lived when history here was being written with sword and blood, when empires were being built, when the fate of a continent was being decided in strife and battle. There is attached to such conditions of life an element of romance which, strictly speaking, does not find its place in the domain of history, but which would enrich our annals, were it to appear in a panorama of domestic life on the Detroit river border. |
