Looking for a unique gift this holiday season? Grab a copy of the first book published by the Detroit Historical Society.

This book is a volume of essays that puts a human face on a fascinating and fiery period of Detroit’s past. Each essay provides a portrait into how an individual, family, or other group responded to and shaped the dramatic changes around them. Revolutionary Detroit witnessed murders, betrayals, hangings, shipwrecks, slavery, servitude, captive-taking, and more. The town serves as an ideal historical laboratory for analyzing military actions, shifting alliances, and cultural interactions on the frontier during a particularly volatile time.
