During the mid- to late 19th century, Detroit and the American Midwest were the sites of five major cholera epidemics. The first of these, the 1832 outbreak, was of particular significance--an unexpected consequence of the Black Hawk War. In order to suppress the Native American uprising then taking place in regions around present-day Illinois, General Winfield Scott had been ordered by President Andrew Jackson to transport his troops from Virginia to the Midwest. While passing through New York State the men were exposed to cholera, transmitting the disease to the population of Detroit once they reached that city. As a result, cholera was established as an endemic disease in the upper Midwest. Further outbreaks took place in 1834, 1849, 1854 and 1866, ultimately resulting in the deaths of hundreds of individuals. This book is the story of those outbreaks and the efforts to control them.

When cholera arrived aboard the Henry Clay during the summer of 1832 in Detroit, it was the bacterial disease's major debut in Michigan. The symptoms were found to be horribly gruesome, and it was clear that cholera did not judge anyone by their wealth, ownership of property, or by their habits - good or bad. When the disease showed itself for the first time to Michiganders, physicians and regular citizens alike had no idea how to combat the disease, which led to a divisive and at times violent dispute between Detroiters and most rural Michigan residents. I attempt to uncover how this created the perfect situation for those who were generally in power and needed to lay blame to gain hegemony over undesirable populations: the intemperate, homeless, and those who usually did not conform to popular Christian ideals.

Join local food aficionado Bill Loomis on a look back at the appetites, tastes, kitchens, parties, holidays and everyday meals that defined eating in Detroit, from the earliest days as a French village to the start of the twentieth century. Whether it's at a frontier farmers' market, a Victorian twelve-course children's birthday party replete with tongue sandwiches or a five-cent-lunch diner, food is a main ingredient in a community's identity and history. While showcasing favorite fare of the day, this book also explores historic foodways--how locals fished the Detroit River, banished flies from kitchens without screens and harvested frog legs with miniscule shotguns. Wedding feasts, pioneer grub, cooking classes and the thriftless '20s are all on the menu, too.
