This 51 page booklet is the ideal length for commuting via carpool to an from work.Early on we learn two nice nuggets: Henry Ford was nurtured by Thomas Edison. Also, Ford was a devout anti-Semite. So much so that Adolph Hitler held him in high esteem.There's lots more information in this well-written book about a man genuinely interested in doing right by his nation in what he understood to being right. Remember, his first two or three forays into automobile production were failures, commercially. Yet, he persisted and, ultimately, prevailed.Anyone interested in history, business, or in economics is encouraged to read American Legends: The Life of Henry Ford, for this quick reading booklet is a great introduction to a great, if not flawless, human being.Incidentally, while watching a video regarding Buffalo Bill, the narrator explained that a very short clip within the DVD was of a parade of Buffalo Bill's Wild West as it entered a city in preparation for an upcoming show. It's not a critical piece of trivia, I realize, but it is cool that the inventor who changed our lives in so many direct ways as Edison, also affected the future by providing us Henry Ford, and preserved the past with the only known video clip of Buffalo Bill, the man possibly most responsible for America's love for TV Westerns during the fifties and sixties.
