This unique obcject gives overtake out prospect, that one has chaned into a fantastic replace on myself personally, The theory showed up properly along with quickly John and Horace Dodge: Automotive Pioneers
Here's a biographical profile of John and Horace Dodge, the fabulously wealthy Detroit automobile pioneers who reveled in yachts, estates and producing great cars. Unfortunately, John and Horace's lifestyles were unacceptable to the social elite in Detroit; they regarded the brothers as uncultured, crude and boorish. And they probably were, but it bothered the brothers not at all. When the Grosse Pointe Country Club refused admission to Horace, he bought the adjacent land and vowed to build a home that would make the country club "look like a shanty." And he did; the mansion was known as Rose Terrace.
Above all, John and Horace were consummate engineers, mechanics and businessmen who learned their craft well under masters such as Olds and Ford, but who subsequently made their fortune with their own vision and work ethic.
Review :
Much appreciated factual information, well researched and written.
An amazing story of two brothers and their incredible contributions to the early automobile industry. There probably would be no Ford Motor Company today, without the genius of these pioneers. The landscape of the industry would be very different today had the brothers not succumbed to the flu pandemic in 1920.
This "book" is only one chapter of a previous book by the same author!!!
Not really worth buying... Just get the earlier book by Daniel Alef. "The road well travelled, a history of the American automobile pioneers " and you will find this as a chapter word for word! It certainly does not cover the story of these two extraordinary brothers in any depth at all!
