Cadillac's Detroit

Cadillac's Detroit is the action-packed, adventure-filled, historical fiction sequel to The Straits of Detroit.



What's in the novel? Murder, arson, fraud, and desertion. Smuggling, adultery, corruption, and cannibalism. Greed, conspiracy, and treachery. A plague, two sieges, and more! And it all actually happened in the Cadillac years, 1701-1712. 



When Antoine Cadillac founded Détroit, his plan was to build a multicultural trade center for military and economic purposes. The fort was built to stop fur smuggling and to keep the English out of the Great Lakes region. The trading post was built to expand French trade and influence with the Native Americans.



Despite powerful enemies in government, business, the church, and hostile Indian tribes, Cadillac and Détroit survived.



This is the exciting story of the early years of Detroit and the French pioneers who lived amongst the Indians.
