Sylvania originated where Ten Mile Creek and Ottawa Creek meet, an area favored by the Ottawa Indians. Sparsely settled at first, Sylvania grew after the War of 1812. Increased settlement, construction of better roads, and expanding railroads brought many opportunities to Sylvania. The Territorial Road that passed through Sylvania became the first thoroughfare between Toledo and Chicago, and the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad laid track through Sylvania from Toledo and Adrian, Michigan. This book provides a glimpse into Sylvania's rich history through photographs of the people, events, and businesses that made Sylvania the great place to live that it is today. Buy now on Amazon!

With a desire to grow plants referred to in the writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane, Trini Wenninger set out on a mission. Trini collected information on sixteen plants mentioned by Laura and Rose in letters, poems, articles, and more. Among the sixteen plants included in Flora of their Writing is the Four O'Clock, from one of Laura's poems; the Grape Hyacinth, mentioned by Laura in a letter she wrote to Rose; the Violet, described in the unpublished manuscript "Pioneer Girl;" and Wild Sweet William, remembered in an article Laura wrote for the Missouri Ruralist. In Flora of their Writing, Trini combines her love of gardening with her interest in Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane. Buy now at Lulu!
