Synopsis
Muddy Boots and Ragged Aprons tells the story of the working people of Detroit who, in the first three decades of the twentieth century, made Detroit into one of the world's greatest industrial cities. Ninety previously unpublished photographs offer glimpses of a life that has all but disappeared―from the boarding houses where immigrants slept between shifts, to the backyards and empty lots where children played and the kitchens where women labored. The photos also show workers on the job―in auto factories and at construction sites, on the highest peaks of the Ambassador Bridge and in the tunnel beneath the Detroit River. Put together, these small stories, the details of ordinary life, tell the history of a remarkable city. And despite the often bleak and harsh life portrayed in the pictures, Muddy Boots and Ragged Aprons is about the victories of the city's working people.
