Lansings history as the capital of Michigan began with a legislative mandate in the 1835 State Constitution; which required that the seat of government be moved from Detroit in 1847. The result-the emergence of a new capital city on the banks of the majestic Grand River-allowed Lansing to cultivate a world-class community based in government; education; the automotive industry; and entrepreneurial achievements. This book features more than 200 historic photographs that document the dynamic capital city during its pivotal first century; from the pioneer era to the inception of the Olds Motor Vehicle Company and through the eve of World War II.
