Capitol Park Reviews
“If people will come here to realize what this place means – this is holy ground where our democracy took root — your book will spur some of that”
“Restoring its reputation by explaining its significance as a historic anchor”
“This is a great book”
“Reinforces the park’s status as an anchor in the history of the city and the state, tracing its usage through the years and uncovering tales of a unique public space that epitomizes the ups and downs of Detroit’s three centuries”
“For anyone with an interest in Michigan history – weaves into the matrix of the story of Capitol Park and Michigan’s first governor an account of the growth, decline, and the current renaissance of the historic city of Detroit. The book is lovingly written, by a man in love with Michigan’s history – truly, it is a labor of love.”
