From the Publisher
Boasting over 200 photographs chosen from thousands in the collection of Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield village, “Beyond the Model T” gives attention to Henry Ford’s numerous ventures outside of the auto industry. This revised edition, with 26 additional photographs, and two new chapters, completes the portrait of Ford’s life, giving depth to a man previously known only for the Model T.
An enthusiastic and courageous entrepreneur, Henry Ford used profits from the Model T to launch projects in a multitude of areas, from education to rubber products. Ford R. Bryan presents an unknown Henry Ford, focusing on his experimental humanitarian and business enterprises—including those that failed.
These accounts give testimony to Ford’s investment in the working class, a category in which he included himself despite his wealth, and disclose his dreams for a country upon he undeniably left his mark.
