1791 Ford: The Times, the Man the Company, by Allan Nevins with the collaboration of Frank Ernest Hill (read 20 Aug 1983) This tells the story of Henry Ford and his company up to 1916. I found the early part really fascinating, giving an account of Ford's early life and the beginning of the automotive industry. The Selden patent case, if I ever heard of it, I had forgotten about, and I found the chapters on it in this book really good. The book would gain by more perspective--it was published in 1954, only 7 years after Ford's death--but otherwise it was very interesting. I believe I'll go on to read Volume II, even though it is probably not going to be as interesting as this volume. ( )
