Hamtramck

By Greg Kowalski

$24.99

Publication Date: 15th February 2010

Few towns in America have undergone a transformation like Hamtramck. From a farming community of 3,500 people in 1910, it became an industrial powerhouse of 48,000 by 1920. Much of that early history is gone, but much remains-some remnants of an age of iron and smoke and some transformed into buildings with a functional modern use.
