The release of the photographic history book on Pontiac I have been working on with Arcadia Publishing, and the Oakland County Pioneer & Historical Society, is the result of over a year's worth of work, but doesn't include a lifetime of accumulating history on our city. It is also supported by almost two decades of research on the Sibley-Hoyt House, my home. The publishing of this work strives to meet a few goals: record history on the founding of Pontiac that was previously unknown, record history on the Sibley-Hoyt House that came to light in my research, promote and raise funds for the Oakland County Pioneer & Historical Society, raise funds to purchase a state historical marker for the Sibley-Hoyt House.
