Foundation For Living: The Story Of Charles Stewart Mott And Flint is a biography written by Clarence H. Young. The book tells the story of Charles Stewart Mott, a prominent businessman and philanthropist who played a major role in the development of Flint, Michigan. Mott was born in 1875 in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in a family of industrialists. He attended Stevens Institute of Technology and then worked for his family's business before moving to Flint in 1902 to work for the Buick Motor Company. Mott quickly rose through the ranks at Buick and eventually became the company's president. He also served as mayor of Flint from 1912 to 1913. Mott's legacy, however, is not just in his business and political accomplishments. He was a dedicated philanthropist who believed in giving back to the community. He established the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in 1926, which has since become one of the largest charitable organizations in the world. The foundation has supported a wide range of causes, including education, health, and the arts. The book provides a comprehensive look at Mott's life and legacy, including his business and political accomplishments, as well as his philanthropic work. It also explores the history of Flint, Michigan, and how Mott's contributions helped shape the city. Overall, Foundation For Living is a fascinating biography of a remarkable man who left a lasting impact on his community and the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
