Cadillac
Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company. After a dispute between Henry Ford and his investors, Ford left the company along with several of his key partners in March 1902. Ford's financial backers William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland of Leland & Faulconer Manufacturing Company to appraise the plant and equipment in preparation for liquidating the company's assets. Instead, Leland persuaded the pair to continue manufacturing automobiles using Leland's proven single-cylinder engine. A new company called the Cadillac Automobile Company was established on 22 August 1902, re-purposing the Henry Ford Company factory at Cass Street and Amsterdam Avenue. It was named after French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who had founded Detroit in 1701.
Clarence M. Burton
In 1895, he turned his attention to writing histories, beginning with "A Sketch of the Life of Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, Founder of Detroit," which was published that year. "A Chapter in the History Of Cleveland" followed soon after, and one of his most famous works, "In the Footsteps of Cadillac," was published a few years later in 1899.
