Learn about Frank S. Peer, a Wayne County man who lived at the turn of the 20th century, but whose vision went far beyond his time and place. This memoir written during cross-Atlantic trips to import thoroughbred livestock into the US, tells the story of an entrepreneur whose ambition took him from the farm to a lumber camp in Michigan, yachting in Britain, sailing the Great Lakes, and fox hunting with Teddy Roosevelt. His colorful prose, which Beth and I have edited and enhanced with background information, will take you from a farm field to the White House and everywhere in between.
