The name Houghton is well-known to Michiganians. It graces a city, a county, a lake, waterfalls, schools, and more. But what made Douglass Houghton such a star? As the fledgling state s first geologist, he found more than any explorer before him from salt springs to gypsum. His reports helped launch a rush to the Keweenaw Peninsula s Copper Country. He also found time to be elected mayor of Detroit and teach at the University of Michigan, all before the age of thirty-six. Here is his story.

I guess hearing precise and factual stories of history that play out like watching a movie of our great fore leaders may sound boring to some. But it just shows that dumbing down of our schools has worked. Really sad that a guy like Lehto can research and play out each detail from 100's of years ago in the undertaking of Michigan as a State and it's people can not excite our

minds, or maybe it's just that we know it all.

you would have to be bored out of your mind to find this remotely entertaining or informative.
