Upon the dedication of a new Capitol building in 1879, the city of Lansing was just beginning to emerge from the swampy wilderness of its recent past. As industry began to take root along the banks of the Grand River, Ransom Eli Olds brought his father's motor shop to national prominence with advancements in gasoline and steam engines, and then horseless carriages. By the early 20th century, Oldsmobile became the world's first mass producer of automobiles and Olds had moved on to found a second car company, making Lansing the first Auto City. Through these efforts, Olds rose to become one of the nation's greatest industrialists and entrepreneurs. Using primary documents and historical images, this book traces the industrial history of the Capital City within the context of one of the 20th century's greatest entrepreneurs, R.E. Olds.

Yahooty Who? is based on my Grandpa Walt's story about an imaginary friend named Yahooty who turns on the light in the fridge when you open the door. As a young child, Grandpa Walt and I would look for Yahooty all around our house. Some of my most cherished memories are from this time we spent together as a family. Whether you are a child who is hearing the story for the first time, or a parent, grandparent or teacher reading it over and over again to your little ones, Yahooty takes us all to our happy place of imagination and childhood fantasy. From the way he "borrows" one of your socks, to the silly sock puppets he creates, Yahooty finds his way into the hearts of all who read his story. Search for Yahooty each and everyday and create playful moments no matter where your family finds themselves!
