Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Governor, Judge, and Priest; Detroit, 1805-1815: A Paper Read Before the Witenagemote, on Friday Evening, October the Second, 1891 William Hull, selected President Jefferson to be the first governor of the new Territory Michigan, reached the eastern borders of his dominions on the first day of July, 1805. As the little schooner that carried him and his fortunes made its way up the island-strewn river toward the century-old town of Detroit, the Governor´s expectant gaze was greeted by the sight of a single row of low white farmhouses, with sharply pitched roofs pierced by small gable-windows. About the houses were great pear-trees raised from seeds brought from France by Cadillac´s followers, and orchards of Lombardy apples, whose fame was to spread throughout the country.
