Meet a man who was a medical doctor, a geologist, and a surveyor who also knew botany, zoology, and chemistry. Douglass Houghton was all of those, even though he stood barely five feet, four inches tall. His brief life (1809-1845) was full of accomplishments. This biography is designed for grades 4-8, but it can be enjoyed by older students and adults as well.
Douglass Houghton Michigan's Pioneer Geologist, Doctor and Teacher is set for release Jan. 1, 2026 by Modern History Press. Find it at MHP.com or on Amazon, or from this stie.
Here is some of the advance praise:
Deborah K Frontiera immerses us into the life and times of Douglass Houghton, one of Michigan's pioneer statesmen. This is a valuable resource for upper elementary /middle school/high school Michigan history courses or for your informative reading and enjoyment. Deborah Olson, Library Director, Lake Linden Hubbell Public School Library
Douglass Houghton is the kind of book I loved as a young boy when I devoured biographies of men like Daniel Boone. I'm excited that one of Upper Michigan's heroes will now be introduced to young readers in this biography full or real-life excitement and adventure. Tyler Tichelaar, Award-Winning author of The Mysteries of Marquette.
The book brings Michigan History to life for young readers, offering many entry points to tie classroom lessons into the story--natural history, physical science, geography, Michigan statehood, and much more. Lloyd Wescoat, owner of Grandpa's Barn Bookstore, Copper Harbor Michigan
