Ford's life mirrored the broad transition taking place in the United States just after the Civil War as it converted from an agrarian to an industrial society during the American phase of the Industrial Revolution. Henry Ford was also a man of contradictions. While he gained fame for producing affordable cars such as the Model T, raising wages, and hiring minorities and immigrants, he also was accused of stubbornness, bigotry, and suppressing workers' rights. This book peels back the layers of Henry Ford's past to examine the motivations, accomplishments, and legacy of the man who changed the way Americans worked and how they lived. 600 10 $a Ford, Henry, $d 1863-1947. 650 7 $a Industrialists $v Biography $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Automobile industry and trade $z United States $x History. $2 sears 650 7 $a Businesspeople $z United States $x History. $2 sears 650 7 $a Ford Model T automobile. $2 sears 941 $a 2 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230713113842.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620011954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AEA2E0EBCF511EAA1925DFC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
