Martin Maier
Martin Maier (January 20, 1840 – November 9, 1893) was founder and proprietor of Martin Maier Trunk and Bag Company (est. 1865), which specialized in making specialty and sample trunks. His company was one of the largest distributors of luggage and leather goods in the mid-west, based in Detroit at 55 Monroe Avenue, then moved to 102 Woodward Avenue in 1873.
==Early life==
Martin Maier was born January 20, 1840 in Langensteinbach (Baden). He learned the saddler's trade eventually becoming a master saddle maker. At age twenty-one, he immigrated to the United States from Baden, Germany, living with his sister in Monroe, Michigan. Later, he moved to burgeoning Detroit, where he would key up with the Wolfe Brothers in the trunk and saddlery business. From there, he moved to St. Louis when the Civil War would break out. He joined the Union around 1863-1865, and is believed to have participated in the March to the Sea Campaign from Atlanta. His profound knowledge in saddlery prompted him to fashion a saddle for General Tecumseh Sherman, which bolstered his aspiration to start a saddlery business. His job in the Army is relatively unknown, but he might have managed artillery because his section in ''History of Detroit'' states he "became quite deaf" due to the constant "roar of cannon" although the extent of his deafness is uncertain.
