Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Captives of Cupid: A Story of Old Detroit
Among the border towns of the Cana dian frontier, fair Detroit - once the village of Pontchartrain and the old French settle ment of Cadillac, founded in an impulse of strife between the governments of France and England, and the most ancient city of the great lakes - was well and favorablv known to the British as a place of im portant western interests and progression, and caressed by the swift blue waters of its broad, majestic river, the town had crept gradually east and west and still more slowly northward into the lap of a fertile country, in whose forests the buffalo, quail and deer were yet abundant and plentiful, and the red man a frequent visitor.
