Mystery at Capitol Park -- The Michigan Triangle -- The forgotten capitol -- Boy governor -- New purposes -- Heyday -- High-water mark -- Decline and fall -- The best and worst of times -- Back to the future.
Capitol Park is the only city park in America where a state's first governor is buried. It's the birthplace of democracy in Michigan. Underground Railroad site. Streetcar and transit hub. Urban canyon. A block north of Detroit's iconic Coney Island restaurants. A symbol of the city's late twentieth-century decay, now a key part of its revitalization in a new millennium. Jack Dempsey, award-winning author of Michigan and the Civil War and president of the Michigan Historical Commission, uncovers tales of a uniquely inspirational public space that epitomizes the ups and downs of Detroit's three centuries.--Publisher's description.
