What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

His neighbors called him Crazy Henry because the only thing that interested him was machines, but Henry Ford was determined to invent a practical, affordable automobile. In the process, he gained riches, fame, and power. Today’s kids, who know the name but not the story, will enjoy this trip back to a time when few Americans had even seen a car. Author Carin T. Ford (no relation) constructs a compelling and balanced portrait of a complicated man. Ford’s political and social viewpoints were not always popular, but as a genius of industry he changed forever the way Americans travel.
