Title: The last sleigh ride
Description: "Twenty-six powerful vignettes introduce twenty-six longer, illustrated stories in the riveting, Depression-era folk history. With war, race, sex and poverty as backdrops, the writer explores the life and times of an isolated black community in northwest Detroit during the years of 1937 to 1957. This exciting presentation of an historic slice of Detroit makes for an outstanding read for all who are interested in the social transitions within the arching American culture and the Great Lakes region"--P.[4] of cover.
