RELIVE THE GOLDEN ERA OF GLORIOUS TIMES OF DETROIT...
Located where the St. Clair River joins Lake St. Clair, 20 miles North of Detroit, was an Island Paradise known as "America's Venice"
During the late 19th century Harsens Island and the St. Clair Flats were known worldwide as America's Venice, one of the country's most unique resort destinations. The area became a resort destination shortly after the Civil War, an era before automobiles and telephones were dreamed of, and its fame peaked in the early 20th century. For decades magnificent White Star Line passenger steamers arrived, almost one after another, to exchange passengers at the docks of palatial private clubs and public resorts as well as the popular Tashmoo Park. They are all remembered with vivid text and lavishly illustrated.This Collector Edition is an edited and revised compilation of the three volume history of the area first published in 1985.
