Historically speaking, Silas Farmer's "History of Detroit and Michigan," of which I am proud to say I have the 1890 printing of the two-volume set in pristine condition!
Also, "This is Detroit" written at Detroit's 250th birthday in 1951, and is a snapshot with only brief mention of the '43 riots and still had a rosy future predicted for the city.
Malcolm Bingay's "Detroit Is My Own Hometown" written in the late 40's and is one person's recollections of living through the amazing technological transformations of the turn of the century forward.
