Legends of Le Détroit #220987

The word Legend explains itself. Historical and romantic souvenirs hang like tattered drapery around the fair City of the Straits. Interest and curiosity have only to shake its venerable folds to scatter fragmentary history and legendary lore. These weird tales, quaint customs and beautiful traditions have been handed down from generation to generation as sacred trusts. Originally brought from their cradle in Normandy, they are still tenderly cherished in the homes of the old families of Norman ~descent settled along le Détroit. It has been my good fortune to hear many of them from loving, though aged lips of ancestors whose memories extend back into the last century.
