About the book

Campus Martius Park, circa 1912. After the city was destroyed by fire in 1805, Territorial Judge Augustus Woodward created a street plan modeled after Washington, D.C. He had surveyors set up their equipment in the middle of present-day Campus Martius, and the judge’s plan for the city was plotted from this point.

After the overwhelming popularity of the first volume, the Detroit Free Press is proud to announce the second in our series of pictorial history books, "Detroit Memories II: The Early Years through the 1940s." This time around, this heirloom-quality book will include images from the 1940s in addition to more stunning images from the early years.

We are excited to partner with Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit Public Library, and Detroit Historical Society on this project. The book will feature images from their wonderful archives, as well as images from you, our readers, in this unique coffee-table book — this project will truly capture the rich heritage of our city.
