Ledyard. . ." The text continues on to heap praise on this grandson of former Michigan governor and prominent statesman Lewis Cass and lists all of his accomplishments in his 47 year career with the company. This beautiful book is signed by both the president of Michigan Central Railroad, Alfred H. Smith, and its secretary Edward F. Stephenson. The accompanying typed presentation letter on New York Central Line letterhead is from Stephenson and signed by him; he also expresses his personal sympathy. From Clarence Burton's book "History of Wayne County and the City of Detroit, Michigan:" " 'Service to All' became his slogan in railroad management . . . 'We must provide facilities for men to make new business profitable. . . by giving them shipping facilities as good as they could get in any other center' (per Ledyard). . .When the passenger station in Detroit was destroyed by fire, within two hours he was running trains out of the new station which was then being built but which lacked two months of completion. He always recognized merit, faithfulness and ability upon the part of his employees and was ready to accord promotion as opportunity offered. While his business life was characterized by much of the precision of the military commander, those who came within the closer circle of his personal acquaintance had for him the greatest love and respect." Henry Brockholst Ledyard was born in the American embassy in Paris in 1844 while his father was part of the American delegation and died of heart disease at his home in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, on May 24, 1921.
