My name is Gage Sheldon Patton. I go to school at Metamora Township High School. The purpose of this project is for my U.S History class, to talk about Detroit from 1870 through the Great Depression. I grew up in Plainfield, Indiana and moved to Ionia, Michigan after my Sophomore year. I play football and run track. Music, sports, friends, and family are the things I love. I chose Detroit because I'd like to learn more about it.
