Detroit By Night

Mortal History

Before Detroit

Long before the coming of the Europeans a mysterious civilization occupied North America from
New York state to the Rocky Mountains, and from the southern edge of Canada to the northern reaches
of the Aztec Empire. Known today only as the Mound Builders for their particular method of entombing
their dead, this people had vanished before the appearance of the Native American tribes that saw the
coming of the white men. Sadly, all mounds in southeastern Michigan nave long since been flattened
and turned into streets and lots.
