Henry Ford and Grass-Roots America

Informationen zum Autor Reynold M. Wik is the author of several books, including Steam Power on the American Farm: The American Historical Association . Klappentext "This is both a biography of Henry Ford, American folk hero, and a study of the sociohistorical impact of the often idiosyncratic ideas and most of all his Tin Lizzie on rural America... the result is a book of considerable worth, perhaps the single best volume yet published on Ford." - Kirkus Reviews "...a unique social history of the period. The book has nostalgic value for all over 40, the humor of a naïve America for young people, and social and technical history for the scholar." -Robert J. Havlik, Library Journal "...the underlying theme is how Ford became a folk hero to rural America... This well written book not only supplements... previous studies... but helps to illuminate American values and attitudes during the 1920's." - Choice Zusammenfassung A study of Henry Ford and rural America in the 1920s
